I have just updated the sheet. It is certainly getting tougher now for those who are doing it forward rather than backward, randomly or trying to average it out as I am.
However much you finish with it is certainly better than saving nothing so try not to feel too bad if you are like @GeorgianaCavendish and wonder if you can finish the challenge. No one should feel bad if they have other priorities. Have a lovely weekend all.
