Can I please declare £0 for January? Saver #33
I have actually gone in the negative this month, but only because I have changed job and my pay is delayed. I am not willing to have a negative figure this early!Once Feb is done I will take my Jan overspend off the saving for Feb so that it is actually a fair judgement.
Save £12k in 2025 #33 £2531.77/£5000 (If this carries on I might have to up my target!)

Well done to @Suffolk_lass for keeping on top of updates. I have not been on here much.
Now we have had our pensions I have transferred £500 over to savings. I don't think there will be any more this month as we have had to pay out for three holidays over January and February. So #1 £500 for February. I have already updated the spreadsheet SL.

I have put a copy of the closing 2024 worksheet in this year's spreadsheet, rather than putting links to the old ones. Here's a link
I am hoping the dozen or so who have signed up but have yet to post for January, have not forgotten. Another week and I might nudge them by naming them...Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)

Looks like by the spreadsheet I’ve been assigned the number 8 this year.
Therefore #8 Macsidia declaring £1,655 for January.
January contained 5 paydays and the Boxing Day premium helps me to start strong in 2025.
