@enthusiasticsaver @Suffolk_lass - you've done that in record time, sorry I've only just picked this up!

Thanks so much for sorting, it's very much appreciated

It was all @enthusiasticsaver - I can take no credit. The benefit of two screens! I will help keep it up to date going forward. 

I can see from looking at the sheet that many people have stopped posting, hopefully still submitted their forms (me included) so @Merlin's_Beard's suggestion to submit your year to date here in the forum would allow us to bring it up to date a bit more, if your own line has any months missing.

It would be a good idea to post on here if you are still active on the challenge especially if you have submitted forms only.  I can see from some signatures that the totals don't add up which indicates either some didn't post here but kept their own records or I have missed something.  

Lets see if we can keep this going anyway.  Off to feed my DDs cats now so have a great day everyone.

Thanks so much.  You have the dubious honor of being the first normal update.

I have managed to make a copy of the sheet.   

@slowlyfading I do hope you are ok with us taking it over.  It is done with the best of intentions and hope you are doing ok. 


THE LINK TO THE COPY OF THE NEW SPREADSHEET COPIED FROM SF  IS  BELOW. @Suffolk_lass and I will share the updating and thankfully as only 30 pages to the thread it should not take too long to catch up.

I have reposted it here for anyone popping in to read the latest posts. Just to reiterate we can only update it from the posts, not the submitted forms, and very happy to bring your line up to date if you post any missing months in one post

#7 declaring £4,907.51 for February.

Bonus was paid this month which was the main contributing factor, also recently got engaged with my girlfriend so now have a wedding to plan and budget for. Finally, also landed a new job which means (hopefully) more interesting work, decent pay rise and more opportunities in general!

Deployed some new money to my S&S ISA early in March, but need to keep a relatively high cash balance to account for future expenses mentioned above (plus renovations on the horizon).

Happy saving all!

#7 declaring £356.58 for March.

Wedding costs are starting to take a dent in the savings and have a honeymoon to sort as well! S&S ISA contributions will almost certainly be zero for the foreseeable future, at least the pension conts will keep ticking along in the background.

Here's my April to July's updates - massive thanks to Suffolk_lass and enthusiasticsaver for picking this up!

New job started in June which has been going well so far. Decided to up my pension contributions when sorting out the new one, so that combined with new salary means a sizeable extra amount going in the pension each month.

April - £1,679
May - £1,866
June - £2,093
July - £668

August update will follow in the next few days.
