    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. 

    £4.85 #5
    Just think of what would have happened if you had not been saving?

    Keep going I'm sure you will make it
    Thanks Westie, this group is fab and keeping you motivated. 
    Hope you’re keeping well x 
    Hi Littletinks,
    im okay as I can be, I suffer a lot more when its cold and windy, my bones hurts and mobility is shot, but always find a way through the pain and lack of movement, 

    onwards and upwards as they say

    Well done SSDD23 this additional amount this month has turned you from red to orange :smile: you are now on 26% of your target one of three oranges on the spreadsheet, lets hope we get some more oranges over the next month ( I like to see lots of different colours)
    Keep going

  • OH dear, my first month on the challenge and already I seem to have messed up your end of month spreadsheet update, Westie.  As it's the last day of the month today I hadn't realised you would be doing the monthly final tallies at the crack of dawn .  You're way more efficient than I am. Sorry.

    If it's not too late I'm declaring a total of £86.19 for February, a mixture of cashback, tidying up accounts and all sorts of barrel scraping. Will update the form in a mo. I'm challenger # 21 by the way.  Thanks again xxx
