Honestly no worries at all, it's an easy fix. Thanks again for bringing it to my attentiontwinklie said:
Ahhh sorry. It’s half term, kids…that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.julicorn said:
I've just checked, looks like you accidentally selected update 7 rather than update 3 (so 2023 rather than 2022), that's why it didn't post. I've fixed it manually now, no need to re-submit but thank you for flagging it uptwinklie said:@julicorn did my update not come through? No 5 - I’ve just checked on my phone and the form is saying I owe the same as I did on chart two.
I will resend it if you haven’t got it.
Thank you, sorry again for generating you additional work. I will attempt to update when I’m by myself next time. 1 -

Hello @julicon, I have just checked the chart, I might have made a mistake when I updated? The balance on the chart does not match with my actual September mortgage balance which wasjulicorn said:Hi all! I've just updated the sheet, here is a link to the October update: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LIUI7OAAgxaaCtGMbNnKtXMnhs6Q2DXnWSoTuR4k9hY/edit#gid=346096989&range=A1
@pinkandsparkly, your percentage looks a little wild due to the change in target, but that'll all balance itself out when you submit any future updates.

Many thanks, I have just sent my update. Slow progress as the companies I work for are all behind on paying me but edging forward.
Hope everyone is managing OKDON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

Thank you for adding me onto this challenge @julicorn. Just to add to my info, my mortgage balance in January 2022 was £70915 so whenever you have a chance can you add it for number 42 please? Thanks!

Hi Julicorn,
Sorry to be a pain, but I don't think you've updated my third chart correctly. You've amended my starting and target as a result of moving house and taking on a much larger mortgage, but have copied the current balance from Chart 2. On 25th October, the balance was £422,151.67. I'm number 99. As it currently stands, I look like I'm doing stonkingly well
