    #112 reporting for February, had a good month and some extra income from some dividends, so increased savings pot by £1,540 so now at £1,266 for the year to date.
    I'm still expecting the second half of the year to have little or no savings increase.

  • My spreadsheets have gone bonkers and I seem to be unable to open my budget one. I've have to redo it all from memory, so I think my savings this month are £3000. Half of that it share recovery rather than hard earned money though!

    There's definitely a ghost in the machine as I am now denied access to the update sheets. Slowly, could you kindly give me permission again please? Thanks.

    Edit: Oh, I think the "Request access" box always appears on the page, and I should have just carried on and inputted the update :o:D. Sorry, Slowly!

    What a nightmare Wentie! Don't know what I'd do if my beloved spreadsheets got fouled up. {rushes off to take a back-up of everything...}.
    BTW the update form still works fine for me...maybe it's something on your computer? Hope you sort it.

    Thanks Geoffers, I did get in a bit on a panic as it had all my banking details on and the backed up versions wouldn't open either! I'm going to keep a PDF version too from now on.

    Odd that I can't access the update sheets here though.
