    I'm going to declare towards the end of January if that's ok just so I can add any left over pennies just before pay day.
    That's absolutely fine @Tattypud - that is what I do too!

      ... awaiting the addition of my Darlington RS interest, but my declaration might be waiting forever with the time that is taking to be resolved.

      That is fine (me too!) I always report the previous month, once complete, of my scrapings and interest/dividends or they are not complete.

      I think those that account for their savings though regular savers and contributions when paid can report earlier, but we are happy for all sorts here, (including those who trickle in updates through the month) - it all keeps the conversation and support for one another going in the thread
