    Yes the last link in the OP that shows everyone's totals for all the years they've been saving. I did previously have savings totals for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. But now I only have my 2022 totals showing. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Hmmm sorry about this, I'm sure we can fix it. 
    I think the problem may be due to your names changing slightly on the spreadsheets over the years - in some years there is a space between the words making up your username, in other years it's an underscore. I'll ask slowly to edit them, when she has a few minutes, and the figures should pull through ok then.
    If anyone else sees some figures missing - do let me know.
    Thanks for that @geoffers4

  • #17 with the final update for March (form already submitted):

    ·         Into ISA (ii): £ 500

    ·         Fidelity SIPP: £100 + £25 tax relief

    ·         Savethechange: £4.15

    ·         Grand total: £629.15; YTD: £2284.82


    This makes me a little over 25% of the way towards my end-of-year target of £8k, quite thankful for that as I've had to lower my SIPP contribution from April onwards in order to make sure I've got enough in my account for rising bills, even with my salary increase. My plan is to start matched betting when I have some spare time to go through the basics, and also begin looking to do some freelance work via the likes of Fiverr. I may end up having to reduce my ISA contributions as well, but I'll see how it looks once I've had a full pay at the higher salary, which won't be until May. 
  • Hello, number 70 here with an update.

    A total of £614 saved so far this year.

    Total: £614 / £7,000 = 8.77%

    #5 reporting in for March. I managed to save £1,471 for this month (form updated) which means I am still on target for the year (25%). Didn't manage to add to the repairs & replacements pot this time, I may be able to add to it in April but I expect some of it to be used up in the coming months by various planned works.
