    Standing Orders have gone out today, so I am declaring for January,
    £2500

    Good enough start for the year, I have some maturing RS next month so hoping to save some of it here and pay of some credit cards with the rest.

    I put my ‘saved’ money in multiple accounts including: current accounts, regular savers, HtB cash isa, P2P and also stocks & share ISA.

    In terms of my saving count, I only include any new contributions to my S&S ISA.

    Thanks, George.

    That's pretty much what I intend to do throughout the year until December 31st, when I'll add this year's profit (or loss) into the total.

    It's always quite exciting as you're not sure of the final total until you get to the close of business on the very last trading day of the year.

    Thanks for the number.
    This challenge has already motivated me to put away over £1k this month, which is more than I thought possible. Definitely not sustainable for the whole year but am feeling rightly chuffed!

    I don't think you have. I think SF is busy dealing with sleep deprivation having had her second child just before Christmas and she is running a little late. My previous post reassuring someone they are on the spreadsheet was in response to his request to join in post 176 on the thread, and he (she) is the last name listed, from 5th January. You asked to be added in post 234 - she just has not updated us for a while. It is particularly hard as the normal update form is not working as it should. Don't worry. She is very reliable, it is just a hiccough

    Fab and thanks for info and no worries! :)

    Been at the point of sleep deprivation for years with my two when they were younger so I know that struggle well! Slightly better now but mostly self inflicted by not going to bed early enough! :D

    No rush for me anyway, I will update as and when I can! X
