    Have decided to try and put my savings in at beginning of month as I tend to keep forgetting to put my £1.00 in the pot and then cant remember how much I owe it, old age :rotfl:


    So £31 transferred for January feels good to be ahead.

    Happy New Year everyone, sorry it's a bit late :o
    I've just added £7 to my pot for this week, my first saving for this month. I have £58 saved towards Xmas 2015 and looking forward to adding more!

    Added mine for the day. Up to £60.50, still on track to hit £100 by the end of Jan xxx
    Everyone has been submitting the Jan totals already - am I doing it wrong? It's only the 5th Jan????

    £2 in for today;)

    I don't think that your doing it wrong Pozza, I think that some people are putting their month's money into their savings account at the beginning of the month rather than at the end. I submit my total towards the end of the month as I am putting my ££'s in my tin daily.

    No you are not doing it wrong, some of us have submitted an update for January, it does not mean that this is a total, just what we have done up till now, just keep doing what you are, the lovely MrCrimeFiction updates and your total will be the amount you submit at end of month. Hope that makes sense.

    Hi all :) & Happy New Year

    Wellm that's January under our belt.. I am on course and when this blooming flu has scarpered I will go to the bank and put my dosh in there... £33 so far :)

    I cant access the spreadsheet MrCF, you did pm but it won't work, I think its my side as I have multiple email accounts.. So shall I just let you know my totals?

    Looking forward to Feb's little pot building :)

    Hello. I hope your feeling better and have chased the flue away :o
    If you PM me your December total I will add it to the Sheet.

    I just want somewhere to log my £1 saved each day, this thread seemed to serve that purpose. I will pm you an update at the end of each month (instead of using the spreadsheet) if that is acceptable to you.

    Yes no problem, if you PM me your December total I will add it to the spreadsheet.

    Nae worries. I always panic around electronics. (I am not even sure that I have excel on the laptop as I managed to break word last year... not sure how I did that either). This is why I was worried about the spreadsheet. It's a hell of a lot of work for some eejit to come along and mess up.
    :o

    Is it a live account I need or something else in order to access the spreadsheet??
    Just be warned that if I do break it... I warned you so it's not my fault.
    :p

    Haha you make me laugh. I would actually challenge you to break it. You need a google account to log in and view the spreadsheet.

    Hello! Newbie (but been lurking)

    Of course you can. Welcome. You have been added to the spreadsheet. Please fill in the update form whenever you have caught up with us all.

  • Afternoon Everyone :j

    I've done a full update so everyone's figures should be upto date and looking great.

    Welcome to all the new members. Please remember to view the first post and have a read along with requesting permission for the spreadsheet. You simply need to sign in with an active account and I will add your details to the spreadsheet. This will enable you to view it. Nobody can view it without "requesting permission".

    Please remember to complete the update form for December, still a good few who haven't updated yet ;)

    Almost at 20% for January already which is fantastic :D
