I recently moved some money from an EA account into my current account to drip feed some regular savers and this is the extra sum on top of that that is also bound for regular savers from my current account -- didn't want to count the rest twice!

This is because I've ordered a dining room table, chairs, and display cabinet, so I don't have to scatter my bottles of gin around the floor like a Victorian wastrel any more. Should arrive this month.

The purpose of this post is a little reminder as there are some surprising MIU (missing in updates) people on the 2024 spreadsheet so far. We might hide them on the spreadsheet at the end of March, if no word. They are red at the moment.
So hopefully this is not a nag but just a nudge, especially for any who omitted to click on the favourites pennant so this thread is in their bookmarks. Of course, if you expect a big bonus at the end of the quarter, no worries, but it would be good to know if you are still interested (or not):
