Love the idea of this challenge! I’m setting my target a bit lower than £12k, but I'm looking forward to tracking my progress with everyone here. It’s much easier to stay motivated with a supportive group.

#17 t2rry logging my final February update please, an extra £800
This is made up of £300 in Round Ups and another £500 we didn't have to spend on the mortgage, though that is coming, so these £3k months will end here. Nice while they've lasted though!

I declared early with what I had budgeted to save, but didn’t quite make it by the time it came to actually putting the funds away. Can you change my February entry down to £755.27. Sorry!
Thank you

Hi, No 18 declaring £0.00 for March. Should hopefully have something in April to put to savings but this month it's all getting set aside to pay for holidays that we are taking later in the year.
Thanks to @enthusiasticsaver and @Suffolk_lass for running the thread and keeping the spreadsheet up to date so efficiently.

#33 declaring £1560 in Feb
Still under what I need to reach my target but expecting bigger payments later in the year (I'm self employed so it can vary widely)

I have no idea what I have done to the conditional formatting in the spreadsheet that has resulted in two rows showing bright green against their percentage achieved (they are both at exactly the two month total) - I will get back to it but at the moment my head is full of cold
