    Running Total Including February so far: £953.17/£5000 (03/02/2024) ;)
    Have we missed an update as the total on the spreadsheet is different... at £843.00 by £110.17 - but if you are adding this amount to your total, please say so, rather than the running total, so we simple souls record it in the right place. Thanks

    Thank you!
    And another @Dizzycap - it suggests you are relying on our maths to keep the spreadsheet up to date, where we format the cells per month with a plus amount added, as in =running amounts posted for that month+new amount, while your last two posts you are recording your year to date, making the cell calculation more prone to errors (by me!) as I need to subtract the January figure or we double count it, or you look like you have saved it in one big wodge if we were to leave you off the monthly running figures, which I don't think we would want to do

    Apologies, I am late in puting my totals in for January.  

    Total for January is £6920.  

    This includes my usual savings plus a bonus from work for OH. It's unlikey I'll reach a total like this again as the bonus is a one-off.  Nice start to the 2024 savings though :)
