    Oh yes! I'll go for £250 again please on the grounds I will average £5 a week if I always round to the nearest £10, and perhaps a bit more at the end of each month so long as we don't go overdrawn!

    No problem all added to the first page will update the spreadsheet when I get home as I don't have access via my phone

    Welcome Ladymorticia,

    Your number is #11 please add this to your signature so I can see it. Yes you can add to your pot more then once a week, you can either then send me the update form as you do the transfer or keep a note and update me at the end of the month,

    Some send me one form others do it as they transfer so they don't forget I don't mind either way, as long as I get a update form as this thread can move quite quickly and I don't want to miss declarations

    Welcome and good luck .
