    March total a modest £203.23...but that's £43.23 more than I thought it would be, after some scrimping in the budget. Every little helps, right?

    Well done everyone on their March savings :D

    What do you want your target to be?

    Can I say £8,000 please.

    Also Ive tried clicking on the spreadsheet links on the 1st page of this thread but it keeps coming up with 'Internet Explorer cannot display the page'

    Am I doing something wrong?

    It opens alright for me - can everyone else see the spreadsheet okay?

    Welcome NoviceInvestor

    Just post your target and pop back here at least once a month to let us know how it's going. slowlyfading will give you a 'number' for the challenge, like you can see everyone has if you look at the first post.

    Is there a format for any type of introduction etc, or do I just crack on and add to the form/spreadsheet?

    Many thanks!

    I changed the way I calculate my savings from Feb onwards and have found that I actually saved £1,715.78 in January (instead of £1,106.28). Is it possible to alter the amount saved for that month on the spreadsheet? Otherwise I'll add the difference onto my April savings when I sort them at the end of this month.

    Thanks SF :)
