    Thank you ES - #17 reporting in 

    I am working down my pre-picked list of random numbers and April's total is £55.22 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 £231.17



    edited to add - above image taken from MS Excel spreadsheet I threw together whilst on a briefing call.  Any day in which I use VLOOKUP, INDIRECT and ISERROR to create a dynamic date based look up range for this table is a good day in my books.  Now if only it wasn't so ugly :smile:
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    #12 checking in again. Have crossed off 82-87 & total now stands at £72.71. 

    Thanks @Saver-upper, for telling me that. I hadn't worked it out like that. I was thinking more of the number if days. I'll be adding more soon anyway.

    #55 still on my ‘1p from the beginning plus £3.65 from the end’ saving routine, sitting at £439.89 at the end of April (120 days plus 69p interest)
    By my reckoning just 63 days to go, first week in July 😄

    Thanks for all the updates and sorry for radio silence this week.  I have been taking advantage of the nice weather and been coastal hiking in Dorset.  Beautiful area. Anyway all updates are now  done and spreadsheet should hopefully be accurate for all those who have reported.  Well done to you all. I love all the different ways you are all saving and reporting. 

    I will be updating weekly from now on so  will sort out  my  first May payment in a moment as it is the 1st tomorrow.  Where is the time going?
