Saving for Xmas 2015! A pound a day :-)

EverTheOptimist

I have added my £7 for the week, will ensure I have a minimum of £31 by end of December.

My £1.10 is in the pot for Monday. It still sounds pretty empty though.

Transferred today's £ over.

I've just popped another £3 in for this week, making it upto £7 for the week and £27 saved so far.

Due to financial circumstances I have had to lower my standing order to 50p a day for the foreseeable future. So I will be saving £182.50 in 2015
Hopefully if things pick up I will be able to change it back to a £1 a day plus any extras

I have £40 now, and still intend to keep up the £2 per day till the end of December so that will be about £60. After that though, I might have to be a bit more realistic but will definitely manage £1 a day. There's a lot of stuff we need to buy in the near future and need to spread it out a bit but £1 a day should be fine. I am definitely keeping this up.......feels good actually.

Spreadsheet updated. If you have a look on it we have hit 25% saved of January already. Although it is half way through the month, most people are updating at the end of every month so this will get bigger and bigger

I had loads of change to put in my new tin but after a trip to my shop for food for work, this has all vanished. I'm sure I can find more :cool:

Just a reminder to folk, when completing the update form, please fill in your total saved for that month, not on top of your last update. This way I can see your updated savings figure and for what particular month. Some people had filed out the form 3 or 4 times with like £5 saved for January. Is this £5 saved in total or £5 that week? Just makes it easier for me and the spreadsheet (sounds like its a person lol) :rotfl:

Hope everyone is well. I'm desperately trying not to spend anything this week as I'm skint haha

I am a bit confused does this mean we update at the end of the month? and I find it confusing as we are saving in December but its listed in January does that mean savings in January are listed in February? sorry to be an old dumbo.

Up to £64.64 now. Had a few days of not putting in last week, due to spending no money, therefore having no change, but more than made up for those days

Oooops. I have definitely confused a few people with that post. Sorry we are on December so we post our totals for December this month. Il give an example of how to update the form

On 7th December I want to update. I fill in the morning with £7 saved for December and I give my username and challenge number.

On the 14th, I want to put in another update. What I do now is the exact same but my total would be £14.

On 21st, I want to put in another update. I fill the form in again but it will be £21 saved for December.

For the final Months update on 31st, il update the form again with the same details but it will be £31 saved for December

So if we quickly move onto January, il put in an update for January with £7 saved on the 7th. You do not add this to the previous months as I will do this on the spreadsheet.

You are basically updating me with how much you have saved for that particular month only. That's how it's important to do a final months update so I can see what you've finished on. For people who have completed their £31 for December, I will presume they are finished and don't want to add anymore.

I completely apologise for the confusions everyone. I'm a bit of a techno freak and know computers and technology very well so it's easy for me :rotfl:

Please see that I've changed my previous post from January to December. It would probably help it I got the right month :rotfl:

For information of everyone. The spreadsheet will be changed so it runs from December to November and not January to December. This way it's easier to keep track of everything.

I'm off to update the spreadsheet and all the totals
