I have now had a very kind friend make me a spreadsheet (cos I'm rubbish at stuff like that) so next weeks task is to fill it in, at which point I'll have my figures. I'm going to guess 55 total for me and my wife's added together. 

What? You've managed to administer ~55 RS's without a spreadsheet!! I'm impressed 

I've probably administered them rather badly... But no longer. Any spreadsheet tips gladly welcomed. The legend that is Bridlington1 has already reached out to me on this 

Does anyone have a good spreadsheet template for RS's they are willing to share?

Here's a simplified version of mine that I shared earlier in the year:

To extend it to the following months, select cells J3 to L15 (i.e. the June columns) and drag into July.
I highlight the "deposit" cells for a particular month and un-highlight them when I've made the deposit.
Interest calculations assume that you're depositing at the start of the month.
Columns AP-AR do nothing, they're just for your own personal reference.

Only been concentrating on the RS niche for a few months,  but I've accumulated approx 16 so far , monthly funding circa £4750 .Definitely looking for a few more.
 However,  that will be difficult as I'm way too picky, features that would probably cause me to swerve a RS include ...... Branch-based / Selfie ID or Video ID / Document Scans / Certified Documents  .

You can add my 5 as £1350 PCM, includes 1 x £500, 3 x £200 and 1 x £250.

Debating opening a Zopa Biscuit account for the 7% regular saver but that would add an extra current account to the 7 I've already got!

I reached 14 current accounts (with reg.savers and fixed terms open in 27 banks or building soc. starting from scratch a few years ago). There is no law against it  (and made a little fortune switching almost all of them , keeping the oldest one, a Lloyds account opened in 2008, as my main one)

If you don't mind having an extra current account, and are okay with app-only accounts and open banking, it's a nice regular saver to have, good interest rate and speedy transfers. Probably not suitable if you like doing everything by standing order, but the app has some kind of automatic save thing (which I've never actually used).

I now have 6 regular savers and 8 current accounts as I've taken the advice given and opened a Zopa account!

Jolly good! If you could confirm your new per month figure, I'll amend the league table
