    That's the spreadsheet updated again. Over 50% for January so that's great.

    Keep those updates flying in. Were nearly at a total of £5,000 which is amazing :D

    Not sure if I am submitting my form correctly. I have saved £60 for Feb, making my total £180. Did this a couple of days ago but not showing so, as I said, not sure if I am getting it right. Thanks.

    Hello. You did it perfectly, I was just a bit slow in updating everything.

    Glad to be through January now - the pot is definate not sounding so hollow now.

    All potted and up to date mr CF please will you update me on the spread sheet :D

    Welcome newbies enjoy your potting and posting :T

    Hello. Its funny seeing you with a new profile. Anyway, your total has been updated.
    Really sorry but ive just checked the spreadsheet & its saying £31 for dec & £31 for jan so ive done it wrong so when I submit it I add the total amount which is £62 should I resubmit total? x

    Hello. Ive looked at the spreadsheet. You only need to update your total for than month only. So for January for example - £31. You dont include Decembers total as I already have that on the spreadsheet.
    I'm afraid I am going to have to pull out of this Challenge....I haven't been very well and have just fallen further and further behind....Not sure I can catch up now!!

    I wish you all the best with your Savings Goals for this Year!!

    Oh no. You know where to come back to though if circumstances change :D
    Hi all

    Number 77 checking in.

    Hello, spreadsheet updated and you total should be looking good :rotfl:

    Hello !! I'm back..... Had this week off work to prepare for Mums funeral which took place on Friday. It went beautifully. It snowed Thursday and I was really worried, and I cried into the early hours of Friday and had no idea how I was going to get through it. BUT I woke up and felt calm and the day couldn't have gone better. I managed my 6 minute eulogy to my lovely Mum, the church was full, lots of people came on to the celebration and we talked, laughed and shared in the mutual love for a very special lady. She would have loved it and I think she would have been proud of me. I worked that room and made sure I talked to everyone and they all got to share their stories with me. It was really lovely.
    Anyway, I am upto date with my savings - £31 potted for January so if you'll have me back - here I am.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Hey everyone.

    We were discussing adding pennies to February's pot (£28 each) when we decided that we weren't keen to remove money from our xmas pot.
    As a result we are putting in £30 each for the month of February.

    Thats a total of £60 for this month alone.

  • I have just transferred my £28 for February to my Tesco internet saver so there is £90 in there now. A quarter of the way there already and hardly missed it. Hope everyone is still saving merrily. Update form done thanks Mr CF.

    Always happy- I too am glad everything went well for you :)

    I have transferred £31.00 in for feb. If there is a time when I have to transfer slightly less, then hopefully this will be of benefit. It's all adding up :)

    Always happy, such occasions are terribly heartbreaking but I am so pleased all went as well as possible and that you were able to give the eulogy.
