#45 reporting in with £8,359.42 for March, making it £17,673.13 for the year so far. It was a good month, but boosted by the rather sad realization that it looks like things are unlikely to ease up enought to get away for an overseas holiday this year so we redirected most of our holiday budget into savings. I spent a lot of 2019 in airports and hotels, and for a while found the lack of travel quite welcome, but definitely missing it now!

Just a little review of the Totaliser Spreadsheet, as the forum has been running 10 years now(!)

and as we can see 3 savers have been "ever present" right from the start - Lomcevak, tara747 and of course slowlyfading. Over £10.3 million saved over the years and in addition to our 'ever present' savers we've also got 3 savers on 9 years, 2 savers on 8 years, 3 savers on 7 years, 4 savers on 6 years - but looks like we've lost Westie983 who set a target for 2021 but nothing posted since :-( , 5 savers on 5 years (but seems we've lost bobobski and jessy-eve) etc.
On the flip side, good to see the return of some savers we've not seen for a good while - EeeJay (been away 7 years), LeaLeaV (away 5 years), TallGirl and Furgaliza (3 yrs), Viking_mfw (2 yrs) and Smashworth (1yr). Welcome back to you all!Save 12k in 2013-2014-2015-2016-2017-2018-2019-2020-2021-2022 - then early-retired.13
