    Spreadsheet updated -hopefully we're all having a relaxing long weekend :) :easter::icotbaske

    edit: hopefully i've got everybody's updates, MSE is behaving strangely for me. When I first logged in I could only see a couple of updates on the thread, then as I hit post I could see a couple more. I refreshed and saw more again... :huh::huh:

    As always, if I've missed anybody or got it wrong then let me know and i'll fix it :D

    I'm new here and am not sure what to do - am I telling you my total overpayments expected for the year?

    If so that is 12,389.37.

    And have so far overpaid £2,679.25 versus my plan of £2,285.45! £1,031.09 in Jan and £1,607.16 in Feb

    Welcome aboard! You're #74, I've added your target and overpayments to date - good luck!
