    Hi all :) I know I'm starting a bit late, but this is my first challenge and just happy to finally get going.

    I don't have a number yet, but my target is £500 and I deposited £54.51 for the month of March

    Excited to start saving

    Another month 


    Hi Westie983, thanks for making this challenge and the beautiful posts - I just wanted to check how I could join the spreadsheet? (I did fill out the form I saw on the first page) 

    Tracking my spending and saving isn't my strength so seeing my total vs everyone else's progress will (hopefully!) keep me accountable 

    Thanks! 
  • Hi @xanderaw welcome it's lovely to have you with us. 
    Westie will be along soon to give you a number and add you to the spreadsheet. Happy saving x

    Well done on getting to 30% Hummingbird.

    Thanks for your good wishes, I am just hoping this nerve attack subsides before then :-/

    Hiya @Westie983,

    This is a great idea, thanks for keeping it going. I hope it's not too late, but can I please join? I've been saving through round ups with my Monzo account whenever I spend on my card, but I think it would be a good idea to round down and save that somewhere too. I do try to live on cash at times and I save all £2 and 50p coins into tins that require a can opener to get to the money and I've saved a lot that way to pay for holidays over the years. 

    My goal is £150 please, and I've no clue what I'll spend it on, but it would be nice to know that I can treat myself in the January sales if anything takes my fancy! I don't have a number, so if it's not too late, can I be assigned one please  :).

    Thanks,
    Keedie
