    The guns have sounded and we are off....

    I have added those that have sent me a update form already, some of your were holding back totals from November when the VSP2016 finished please don't forget to add this total to your declaration you make this month.

    I wonder if we will beat the total declared in January 2016?

    I'm looking forward to seeing how well we do. Happy new year from me to you all.

    Happy new year all.
    Thanks for running the challenge Westie. I've read the instructions and will aim for £500.
    I tried to round up our account yesterday for year end but managed to get the math wrong :-)
    I'm going to start from today anyway

  • Can I join again this year? I still need to update 2016's with my final interest payment for December but I still need to check that bank account so will update that later. Not sure about a target yet, £200 would be great but I think that might be harder as I am only rounding one account now rather than the two that I was doing for most of 2016.
