    I have done this for the past few years, can I join again please? I started again on 1 December, so will have a larger than average payment for the end of Jan 2016.

    Hope that is OK?

    Welcome to the mad house 32b3, (there is always one house in the road right?)

    I have given you #23, (whoop whoop we have made it into the 20's)

    It is fine that you have already started, if you open the progress form on the first page you will see the other eager beavers that have also started.

    I have added totals so far to Jan 16.

    As tomorrow is New Years Day and nothin else is coming in or out my account between then and now I have transferred £3.69 into my virtual sealed pot. I've named the account online as my daughters savings. That way psychologically I won't spend it. I believe it's Friday's we update it so hope this is ok :)

    great start Frugalgurl,

    You can update on any day of the week, that is easier for you, but Friday is when you can do the weekly post and update using the update form on page one I can then update the spreadsheets.

    I've just transferred to round our current account down to the nearest £10, which brings my 2015 VSP to a grand total of £366.96. Which I think is impressive given I didn't start until February. It was just weekly rounding - down and a couple of month-end transfers when we amazingly had money left over at the end of the month.

    I've emptied the account to pay off my visa bill (treated ourselves to new dining chairs :-) ) so it's all empty ready for the 2016 VSP.

    Happy New Year everyone!
