No problem.

The update form does indeed now say 2018.

I've just had another look at the spreadsheet and have noticed that the little sheet tab says VSP2017. Not as noticeable as the update form one as I didn't notice the first time.

Can I set a target of £180 for 2018 please. I may increase it via the update form later in the year, depending on how I get on.

Thanks

Great thanks for letting me know, I have changed the tab too, as I just deleted and reused last years spreadsheet.

Think we are up and rolling now.

I have updated your target.

Woop Woop, thank you!

On the fence about an amount as I've never done this type of savings so I just wouldn't know how much to put down. Do I need a target????

Yes please, as it allows me to see how much we have saved as a group and I do like to set mini challenges over the year, dont worry if you dont know just a ballpark figure it can be changed over the year if you want, just let me know in the update form.

Look forward to getting your target and seeing how you progress over the next few months.

Hi, I would like to join please, I really like this idea as it will encourage me looking at my online account regularly as well. I have no idea what my target will be but my aim is to do it weekly so will try for £200, may adjust later in year if I am wildly out.

Welcome to the challenge klbooth,

Your number is #15.

Please add this to your signature and have a read of the first few posts which tells you how the challenge works and more importantly the update forms, and the link to the spreadsheet so you can see how everyone is doing.

Welcome and look forward to receiving your update forms.

Hello, please can I join? I’m fairly new (joined forum quite some time ago but never post!) and this will be my first challenge but I’ve been (bordering on obsessively) looking at the forums recently and doing my own budgets and spreadsheets, determined to manage finances and get a savings pot going! I would like to be conservative and aim for a £200 target please initially.

Thank you!

Welcome to your first of probably many challenges.

Your number is #16 please add this to your signature and have a read of the first page and take in the links to the update form and spreadsheet.

Please don't worry I am online most days as im a board guide so I do check this challenge and I can help.

Good Luck and welcome again

First Friday of the year! £6.88 moved into a separate account.

Out of interest do people just round down their main current account or multiple accounts for this challenge?

Its totally up to you, if you use multiple accounts, if you have the time to log on and transfer, I suppose it will mean the account builds up nicely.

I’ve just posted my first weekend “round down” of £7.48. Can I have a target of £250 please (as in theory I should average £5 a week).

Thank you!
