    Still no sign of my interest and as time is getting on, I'll have to say that I have nothing more to add this month. Total still as it is on the spreadsheet.

    I've checked the account and I definitely met the criteria, so I'll have to wait and put it in February's.

    Hi,

    can I join please.

    I love savings challenges and skimming my account daily is something I've starting doing this month. I have around £28 so far.

    thanks

    Most of the banks pay out the interest on the second working day of the month backdated to the 1st so you will see your interest applied on early morning of tomorrow (Tuesday)

    All the banks I am with do this so will go towards my February updates....

    Hi of course you can I have given you #37,

    Have a read of the first page with how the challenge works and links to the update form...

    I will add your total of £28 to last month, so you can start from 0 for this month...

    Good luck and happy transferring.

    Interest did appear at 9-10pm in the end. It was Nationwide who always pay on the 31st, but I was starting to think that that didn't apply on Sundays.

    Can I please ask you to send me a total figure for the end of January as soon as you are able too (you know you will no longer transfer anything more for the month) or by Sunday 31st at the latest.

    This is so I can make sure that the spreadsheet is up to date before we start February, and I dont have any of januarys figures showing on Februarys update sheet....

    Thanks to Bobobski, Rdone, Mumof2, crimson.addict, and selene, who have all given me their totals for the end of January already.

    On Monday we should be all able to see how much we have saved collectively over the last month...

    How exciting wil that be?

    Hey Jennie+Luke,

    I notice you have lots of goals for this year, have you seen the "2016 - A year of challenges" thread? Might be worth a look and a help for motivation.
