    If I want to add 200 to my Jan total, do I submit 200 or do I submit the full figure?

  • Although I have another week to go until payday I am declaring £2,000 for February and have submitted the form.

    Have a very quiet weekend planned so no additional spending, fridge and cupboard well enough stocked and I am staying at a hotel for a few nights next week with work so food and drinks covered, therefore my intention is to not spend a penny until paid ! We will see...............

    :eek:Noo! :eek:

    Hope it's not too expensive.

    I won't be able to update for Feb until the end of the month as my regular saver won't go until 27th, which will be 29th as 27th is a Saturday. I do not understand how it slipped from 16th...
