    Put a bit more in today to round my total up to £601.43.

    £1.17 interest so far this month.

    Should hit the target amount next month although planning on continuing topping up as and when.  Going to help during the Dec-Jan neverending payless period ;)

    Spreadsheet updated.  We are now up to the 272nd day of 2025.  Last day of September tomorrow and payday.  I have coloured in my spreadsheet up to day 279 which is 6th October and from now on I will be adding money to my pot and updating weekly as the amounts are getting higher. 

    Well done to the 26 challengers who have stayed the course so far in 2025.
