    Having a really good week as far as 'finding' a bit of extra money.  Mainly cashback and money from surveys where I've finally reached redemption level.  I also won £25 on my Premium Bonds this month but as I haven't received it yet I'll not add it until I do.  A few other bits and bobs pending and it looks like it will end up being a good month as far as saving goes.  I'm saving as much as I can and because of this challenge (thanks again Westie) I'm stashing it away in a separate account.  Interest rate is laughable but I'm less tempted to just spend it on things like groceries that way.

    Adding £96.93 today which gives a running total  of £374.48/£1000 for the year so far.  Form sent and sig updated.
    Spreadsheet updated for you Delichon, but I am £6 adrift to what you have for your total I have the following declarations for you.
    Feb - £86.19
    Mar - £35.27, £47.31, £29.07
    Apr - £63.48, £10.23
    May - £96.93 
    Total - £368.48
    If I have missed a declaration then let me know and I will update 

    Westie983

    Sorry, Westie.  Trust me to ****** up the system!  Sorry for giving you extra work too.  Will see if I can track down what I did wrong.

    Meantime, I hope you and everyone else is safe and managing to get outside into the fresh air and sunshine a bit more.

    Take care, all xxx

    EDIT:  You're right (as I knew you would be) and I'm wrong, Westie.  Your total is the correct one  for the money I declared.  I just put the wrong amount in my sig and as my running total in my last  post.  I DID have the extra £6 in my 'real' savings account where I stash my VSP money but never declared it in my posts.  Please leave things as they are with the spreadsheet..  I'll deduct the extra £6 from my signature and take it from there.  I'll try to be more careful in future.  Sorry xx
  • Morning, all.

    # 21  Adding  another £76.07 to my total today.

    From payment for surveys, an online focus group, cashback and a tiny bit of interest.

    Sig adjusted and form submitted.  I've double checked everything, Westie.  Spreadsheet (when you can update it) and my running total should be the same.

    Wishing everyone good health and a sunny Bank Holiday

    Evening everyone sorry not posted in a while, hope everyone is doing okay. My work owed me some backdated pay from a recent promotion. Well I’ve managed to date without it so I’ve thrown it all to pot #10 which is going towards clearing my 0% cc off. Hopefully this means I’ll get a colour change against my target now  :)

    Take care everyone
