    Hello Westie.

    I have potted £111 this month which brings my total to £800

    :D

    How much more do you need until your target?

    Ruth

    Fantastic Ruth,

    I have you potted £1.28 on the 2nd of June so does the £111, include that or on top?

    If I add the £111, to the £1.28 then I get the total of £800.00

    The challenge has fallen to pieces as its been brought to my attention that the spreadsheet wasnt updating/coded properly, as I was adding people and hiding those who have fallen of the wagon, the coding was affected...

    I have updated it now and we have fallen back to £3323.63 for the year to date..

    so are way off, but if we can make it to a round number ill be happy and ill set an other mini challenge in due course..

    :-0)

    £10.58 total for the month. I think anyway, my VSP account is not the most user friendly in terms of showing a complete transaction history. Total to date £77.37.

    Will send in the form in a minute.

    Updated and form received...

    Any more updates for June?

    Can you try and send them to me by the end of the weekend so we can start a new spreadsheet on Monday...

    So far we have saved £3323.63 as a collective of approx 15 MSE'rs, that are still updating that is and average of £221.57 each so thats not bad at all,

    lets see if we can make that to £300 for the month of July...

    **Sorry for the confusion of the spreadsheet, I had an issue with the coding and hopefully its been changed and we will get a accurate update for the next five months...

    Lets keep it going, wonder what the figure will be by November

    :-)

    Yes that is correct, £111 additional, £800 total. I love round numbers and this was accidental :)

    Would you have any objection to me posting my potting amounts on the thread and just submitting a form once a month with the total for that month? It'll make things easier for me that way i think.

    Of course a few others do this, it's totally up to you as long as you submitted the update form before month end so I can update.

    Fantastic Lozzy81 I have recieved update form and updated your total I make it £153.87 you have potted so far.

    Target/Challenge for July

    Year to date so far we have collectively saved £221 each, between 15 of us so the challenge is to try and make that £300 each so the total will be £4500 as a team.

    we are currently on £3385 so we have £1115 to save together as a team to make it £300 each...

    Lets go, its a tough challenge but lets see how we roll, I may include August if we need it..
