    Hi,


    May I join please?
    I have created an online "pot" and currently have £6.27 in it from today's transfer.

    Of course you can, I have given you #31.

    Please take a look at page one with all the information about the challenge, including the update form to be used (so I don't miss your transfer amount) and the spreadsheet for you to have a look at your progress.

    Welcome to the challenge and good luck.

    We are 26p short of £500 saved in the first week of the challenge...

    What a massive achievement by us all.

    Who is going to be first to tip us over £500?

    :-)

    Good for us! I had some car trouble today that I hadn't budgeted for (budgeting for it was on my to-do list) so it won't be me who tips us over sadly :( Maybe next month. By which stage we should be at the £4,000 mark at this rate!

    Just wanting to check. I was planning to comment on here with each transfer (and update my sig), then use the update form at the end of each month. Is this ok or would it cause confusion?

    My weekend transfer has rounded our bank balance down to £0.00 - and it's 3 weeks to payday - oops!

    Hello :)

    I saw this challenge last year but didn't join as I didn't think I would save that much through bank transfers but surprised myself. So I would like to join and set my goal for £1,000. A quick question -- I extended loans to a relative from my savings last year. When they pay me back, would this count as part of my VSP or not? As the money was originally savings, but at the same time, I could choose to spend it instead of putting it back into my account. I'd really appreciate clarification. :)

    VSP - #33 [29.8%] | 3-6 Month EF - #41 [12.6%] | £1,000 EF - #186 [4%] | Save £6k in 2016 - #180 [24.6%]

    Hi,

    Sorry I didnt see your original post, of course you can.

    You can have #32.

    You can send the update form either end of each week, or end of the month, so I can update the spreadsheet.
