How do you get the form? I’m a newbie but promise to stick it out for the length of the year

It should be in Slowly's first post, under 'CLICK HERE for the easy update form:'

There seems to be a glitch at the mo and the link isn't showing, but I'm sure normal service will be resumed shortly

Yes, there's a glitch.

Spreadsheet updated - sorry about the lack of updates form. I can't remember how I do them so it will be added as soon as I work out how!

Good evening!

I think it is the perfect time to join
I read some posts here last year ( like debt-free wannabe, and this).

My target is £5.000 and I wish a successful New Year to everyone.

First Tilly tidy of the year and that, along with a small DD into an isa, and interest from one of my bank accounts means my savings currently stand at £25.61

Interesting analysis bsms! I'm surprised at the no. of savers slightly falling each year - anyone got any ideas why?

Cheers, also noticed this'll probably be the year we make it to £10 million saved in total as well.

Guesses for reducing numbers of users would include
- Economic, people may be less able to save these days so fewer people join the challenge
- 'New'-ness, it's possible as the challenge has been running several years less the novelty factor wears away
- It may be reflective of there being fewer people visiting this forum, or forums in general, over time, with the rise of other or multiple avenues of discussion, other social networks, reddit, etc.

Slowlyfading, if you can't create a new form, could you simply reuse a previous year's form, and we accept that the year on it is a little wrong?

Hi Slowlyfading;

I just have a question about updates. Do you prefer them monthly? I dont want to hound you with a form every week if everyone else does their total monthly!

Personally I intend to bore you all to tears with updates as and when, but only give a total for upgrading sheet monthly..

Today's update.As of today.I'm now officially an OAP so that will be a bedrock of our annual savings, and I did a days overtime today to cover sickness so a good savings day. Oh and .54 p for my solar paneld

I do want to participate .... I am going to count all the savings I make by being over 60 and literally put money in a tin and see how much it is at end of year. this will be included in overall 12,000.

still not sure how to get my number on the list?

You're on there - number 84.

Just a number at the end of the month is fine feel free to chat in the thread during the month as well though!
