    Hey Westie983 and fellow members. 
    Had a bit of an IT nightmare. Firstly not being able to get on the new MSE platform and secondly had to fork out a lot of money as needed a new front door. With that said I’m chipping away at pot #5 and will need to make up for my second pot in a couple of months.

    Just worked out that to reach my optimistic £1000 target I need to save about £91 a month from now on seeing as I didn't start until this month and saved nothing in January :o . 

    Will do my first update at the very end of the month as I have some bits and bobs of cashback claimed but not yet received in my bank account.  I also have a few cheap things listed on eBay which finish tomorrow so with a bit of luck I may have something to come there too.  Some of it is already 'spoken for' but I should be able to squirrel a bit of it away in the VSP.

    Spreadsheet updated, sorry for the delay I firstly got logged out of here on my iPad, and then when I tried to log in using my laptop it said my password was incorrect (it wasn't as I changed it when the new forum happened)
    Im finally in now, but you just never know if I will be pushed back out again (hahaha)

    Updated all that I got from the forms, any more for anymore?

    Hi Westie! You have me down for £8.13 for Feb but I also transferred £9.30 on 07.02.20 meaning my current total should be £45.03. I thought I had sent an update form but possibly not. Can this be altered? Or shall I send an update form? Thanks :)
