    @geordiejon We did have a great holiday thank you and we did do a stop over at Bratislava which we loved.

    Well done to all savers and I have updated the spreadsheet.

    Hello @enthusiasticsaver,

    I have had a really slow time saving on this challenge this year but playing catch up. Its #47 and I have saved in total £146.47 so far this year. Its spread over £10 Jan, £20 Feb, £30 March, £40 April, £46.47 May. June will report at the end of this month. My apologies.

    Is the monthly totals spreadsheet available to see as it has in previous years? Couldn't see it.

    Many thanks for running this thread. 🙂
