    Scrabbling around for my £2 today as I haven't been to the bank for a while. January is a tough month for us as OH has no work on so we have tightened our belts a lot! But hey-ho still on track:o

    £1 transferred for me today. I think January is a tough month for a lot of us and I am amazed that some of you can still manage to put £2 or £3 away each day. Well done to all of us I say :T

    I've just submitted my spreadsheet for December, except I wrote January in the month! Hoping you can amend this MrCrimeFiction! Thanks!

    Just submitted form for this week. Up to £105 :)

    By the way Mr Crime Fiction, my total paid, and % on the spreadsheet aren't correct. They are only taking December total into account, not January's. Thanks
