    Thank you ES - #17 reporting in for March a bit late - sorry

    I am working down my pre-picked list of random numbers and this month's total is £56.22 to my Bonus saver  (am already topping up reg savers so this will have to do).  This takes my challenge total for 2023 up to £175.95

    Will just go and catch up on y'all !  I have been juggling interest rates so this money is now all that there is in this account - which makes it easier and a bit more motivating
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    Thanks all for the updates. You are all doing brilliantly. 

    I will update the spreadsheet tomorrow evening as I can use my laptop with the second monitor when we get home after our week away visiting family in Surrey and Bristol. Much easier than trying to update on my phone.  I also plan on moving my April savings across tomorrow and colouring in my personal spreadsheet. 

    I keep waiting for a cheap month so I can put a lot across but due to several just giving donations for the London marathon at the weekend plus having to pay for a walking weekend in May I am again tight for personal spends. I am hoping to put at least £60 in this month though.

    #2 with April's total ~ £54.60

    15 from one end and 15 from the other making 30 days.  I think it's going to start getting incredibly tight for me now seeing as the majority of my bills (not just me, I know) have gone up sooooo much. :(

    Total = £222.05
    Mortgage: Was: £154,495 Oct 2039 Now: £82,340.34 May 2037
    Swagbucks ~ £155 (2024 ~ £395)
    Surveys ~ £157.19 (2024 ~ £280.14)
    Make £2025 in 2025 #5 ~ £964.62 ~ (2024 ~ £2,561.04)

    I have just added £50 to my savings space and ticked off Aprils numbers plus five of Decembers and one of Mays. Now up at £150  so just under 25% completed. I copied @coconurtaler and have attached a screenshot of my personal record. 

    I will update the spreadsheet later and catch up on comments but unfortunately washing and food shopping takes precedence after over a week away. Enjoy the sunshine everyone assuming it is not just here 😀

    I think I am all caught up now with updates in spite of Virgin Media constant outages this afternoon. 

    Just to let you know I have hidden the rows of savers who have not reported since the challenge started so I don't have as far to scroll down to update.  If you do not see your name on the spreadsheet don't worry you are still on there and I will unhide when you first report.  Some people don't which is fine.

    So far of the 103 savers about 56 have reported and a total of over £8,000 so far saved up to the end of March amongst us which is awesome. On to April now.

    Just checking. Do you mean £121.59 as quoted on 27 March?  If I use the amount above your running total is £308.84
