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?
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.

#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.3 -
Blimey, it's April already, how did that happen?!I've not done well updating this year, so to do several at once, it is £5,625 for January, £4,595 for February, and £3657.36 for March, so £13,877.36 in total. Just ahead of target at this point, but I'm in the process of changing job and need to repay the money I "lent" myself to buy a new car, so the next few months might be a bit lean. Not giving up on the target just yet, but it'll take a good second half of the year to get there.5

I've updated the spreadsheet now; sorry for the delay.

#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.
