Do you believe in fate? I never did prior to the last couple of days...


When i lost my job i had a call from my FD to tell me... but just prior a recruitment company called me and i had to tell them 'i had to go because my FD is calling'... after the meeting where i got let go... i called them back about that job... had an interview 36 hours later, a second interview 4 days after that and a third interview a couple of days later... i now have that job!

Congrats, i knew it would take 2sec for you to get something. Commercially minded finance people are a fairly rare commodity.

Enjoy the new gig

Hi
I know it's a little late to join. I'm a newbie to the forum (joined this week!). After paying off the last of my debts I now want to start building up some serious savings and this board will help with keeping me motivated.

My goal for the year is £2,000.

Thanks
DL

My latest total for the year thus far is now at £3,727.

Just looking at the spreadsheet that we have all saved.

What are all the different colours for in the % overpaid? Also why are the columns called overpaid? I haven't ovrepaid. This is what I have saved.

Of course, this doesn't affect me in any way. I'm just being nosey.

I don't know why I put overpaid so have changed it to saved the colours changed depending on the % saved - you're aiming for green at the end

I think polly--the total amount is divided by 12 months


so if you over pay its yellow


red just means you haven't over paid


I think once target is reached your green


why its in over paid column--your guess is as good as mine

Kind of; the % are part of your target. If you reach 25% it changes to orange. 45% is yellow and over 70% is green.

Spreadsheet and front page updated

Can I ask that, for the purposes of updating the spreadsheet, can everyone just do a total number for the month? It's a bit frustrating when there are multiple updates from members adding bits and pieces onto the form. By all means, do that in the thread but when doing your final number for the month, I just need the total

Thank you!

£900 so far this month but hoping for more so not updating the form just yet! Should be a bumper month for me Next month will be smaller so trying to save as much as possible in Feb.
