#17 t2rry adding £100 to September please

Squirrelled this away after a decent event-related underspend. I could have left it, but if I physically move away, in my head it's not accessible so I can't accidentally swallow it into day to day spending. It also makes September my second to worst month of the year instead of the absolute worst, which is psychologically positive!

Is it annoying that I do multiple updates through a month? Would it be easier for you guys, Suffolk Lass & Enthusiastic Saver, if I just waited and gave one each time?

It's absolutely no problem. I get an alert when anyone posts and it is a simple matter to open the spreadsheet, switch user to my Suffolk lass account and click on the cell and type +nnn.nn. As long as the first entry that month is = followed by the first amount. I think you can see it if you double click on a cell. (I could write a little algorithm or a form that auto-updates but it is so straightforward, and I am retired. It is important to me to keep my brain stimulated with the little financial rituals.)
