Bought a new(er) phone so will be having to make a withdrawal at the beginning of March to ensure the credit card is paid off IN FULL. Been thinking about an upgrade for a while and finally had enough of my old one being liable to shut off randomly whenever the battery fell below 30%. I missed out in the lead up to Black Friday putting it off for a few days to get 60 days interest free credit, so when the right deal came along I wasn't making that mistake again.

I should still be able to report an albeit smaller positive by the end of March.

I've had to do a lot of re-jigging of things this month due to unexpected car repairs and being a bit spendy generally. I was planning to use co-op switch incentive to bump up savings, but I ended up spending them in advance of getting paid out  Ah well, still going in the right direct 

Hope everyone is doing well!

Also been doing some rejigging and will be moving the proceeds of my Nationwide Start To Save account in March into accounts paying higher interest, so part of it can cover the phone. That way I don’t think I will need to report anything, as prior year savings will be paying the card, and the rest is just moving from one home to another.

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

#63 Running total todate: Total £2062.90/£5000 - got a couple of unexpected bonuses  

Long may they continue!

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

#63 I would hate to mess up anyone's spreadsheet! Please take me off this challenge to avoid any unnecessary stress to yourself. Thanks again:-)

Good luck everyone!

@Dizzycap I have done as you ask. I assure you it is not causing me any stress. There are two of us who update the spreadsheet and we try to keep things up to date and accurate between us. It does say in the first post that we record things monthly.

You might want to remove the challenge from your signature as you have withdrawn. Good luck with your savings, wherever you record them
