    Some great saving going on and spreadsheet has been updated.  

    There are a few savers we have not heard from since signing up and we will be removing them from the list at the end of March unless they update. Updating with 0 is ok or even a minus figure so don't be put off if you have not yet managed to get the savings ball rolling.

    MiwMiwCat has been back - hence the zeroes in the spreadsheet. I changed the conditional formatting so the red lines are obvious but they do include the minus and zero reports

    #46 Thriftymissus -£29

    Hello, checking in again for March so far with another minus,  -£29. I have continued to pay off debt and have money owing in self-employed earnings. I hope to be be back in a positive sum by the end of March, with some of those earnings and expenses owed. I have been paying into savings but my sums reported are as a total of all accounts after money has been moved around.

    #50 t2rry with another whopping £20 for March please.  
    That should make £1,945 for March to date

    It's small but it has made itself available in my budget and whilst I would usually leave it there until the end of the month to add in with other underspends at carry forward to April's saving, it is the perfect amount to get me to a nice round number (£6k) and percentage saved (30%) so I'm taking that as a sign.

    Thanks!
