    All updated to here, and here is a link to the spreadsheet, so you can check our collective, and your own progress. Formatting (colour codes) are based on January so far
    This is brilliant, thank you so much.

    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! :smiley: 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 will edit the first post to add the link to the spreadsheet.

    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...

    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. 
    Save £12,000 in 2024: £17,500 out of £12,000.
    Save £12,000 in 2025: £0 out of £12,000.

    @Macsidia There was a post (top of page 8) that told you your number, but guessing you don't read all the updates. If it seems a low number, it's because we had hidden some rows and omitted to unhide before allocating this year's numbers
