I think you need to have a certain amount of posts, maybe 10 or 15, then you'll be able to add one 👍RunsFromRobots said:#22 declaring £3,000 for January 2025
Not a bad start to the year and next month will be better with a sizeable ISA maturing.

@SuperLooperSaver this is where you should have been, not in 2024.
You are number 28 (worth adding to your signature) and worth bookmarking the thread by clicking the little pennant (top right of the page) so it if full. Then via quick links and bookmarked threads you can always find it.
I have added your January to the spreadsheet which I think @enthusiasticsaver will probably share the link to, this weekend.Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £10,020.92 out of £6000 after September
OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I am at £2234.63/£3000 or 74.49% of my annual spend so far (not going to be much of a Christmas at this rate as no spare after 9 months!
I also Reverse Meal Plan on that thread and grow much of our own premium price fruit and veg, joining in on the Grow your own thread

@RunsFromRobots, I'm not convinced it is what @linz suggests as I can see it suggests you have a 1k armchair suggesting posts over 1000 times. I can see you have set a signature with your challenger number (now) so either it is resolved (usual reason is that your device knew best and logged you out) or you were trying to set what you already hadlinz said:

@Dizzycap that is different to what we have in the spreadsheet (£5423.18 in January, plus the £1000 for Feb) - I'm off to check if we missed the difference (£70.74) - I know you can't see the spreadsheet until we share it, but when you can, please checkDizzycap said:# 34.
