    Many apologies for the delay in submitting my July update, Westie!

    In good news, I saved a total of £204 exactly... and then an emergency occurred on the 1st August requiring £££ and taking me away from MSE :( However I am now back to add to our total :j

    Thats okay and welcome back, well done for returning, dont worry about the ££ that you have used thats what the pot is for, to save you having to use CC or something more expensive...

    I have updated and looking forward to the next four months... you had already sent me a form July 10th so I have amended your last update form.

    Challenge for August

    Can we see if we can make £5000 at the end of the month...

    This works out at £85.53 each...

    THATS MANAGEABLE RIGHT!!!

    only £21.50 (ish) a week...

    Go Go Go....

    Westie983

    Currently we are on £4212, so we have £788 to go, divide that between the 10 or so MSE'rs we have still with me on this challenge works out at £79 each.

    We have two and a bit weeks left of August so that works out at just under £40 a week or, £4.93 a day....

    I have worked this out on the people that have updated last month, so if we get some more people returning and updating for August, this figure will go down...

    GMAT £79 will bring you to your target three months early, never more an incentive than that :-)

    Lets keep plodding on...

    Why thank you. I will send you my form at the end of the month if that's ok as it works out easier for me that way. If i transfer money and i'm not say at my computer i forget to declare it then it all gets messy at the end of the month x

    I don't think there is much hope in that Westie as I only round my account down to the next 10.00 :(

    Although get paid end of this week so could see what I have left from my food and spends money and add that to the total.:think:

    YAY!!!

    I have updated the spreadsheet thanks for your update

    Well done you, you are indeed over your target of £200 so what do you want to do now?, keep your target the same and add to it, or do you want to increase it and start to aim toward 100% again...

    Let me know,
