I'm so sorry - I must have looked on my phone (which marks it read) - but I use a different account to update the spreadsheet. I hope the hospital trips are sorting you out and all is well @Hellesbelles

#14 Van_Girl declaring £2068.56 for April
I do, however, know that I have a very big spend coming up as my boiler is knackered. So I'll be saving heavily and recording what goes in the pots, and then there will be a minus figure at some point. But I'll be making the interest in the meantime :)£12k in 26 #14 £5776.75/£12k 25 #14 £19,041.66/£18k 24 #14 £15,653.11/£18k 23 #14 £17,195.80/£18k 22 #20 £23,024.86/£23k0 -

I have updated the conditional formatting in the spreadsheet so that
- dark green, more than a third of the way to your target
- light green, between a quarter and a third (after March before April averaged)
- amber, less than a quarter but you have posted something
- 0% towards your target (and I might still remove you) no longer active on the forum, usually

No. 30 Declaring £4179.60 for April.
Turned out to be a much better month than expected, mostly helped by a little bit of a tax rebate. Next month isn't looking so good what with a bit of time out of work, bank holidays coming up and a week away at the end of the month.
