    I'd like to join again - can I have number 6 again please, to keep things simple?

    I'll put a target of £250 again as I round down to the nearest £10 at the end of each week - so that averages at £5 per week. Plus if there's anything we can spare at the end of the month then that can go in too!

    Thanks for organising this Westie.

    You can have your #6 Seaotter no problem.

    Good luck with this years challenge.

    I will lower my target this year to £180, to balance against my clothes budget.

    Third time lucky I hope.

    Hi again Kim_13

    You have number #9

    Goor luck

    Hi all good luck with your quests.

    I am not going to officially join you as I have signed up to a few challenges already but this is something I would like to start doing for myself.

    I would like to ask if anyone gets any feedback from the banks doing this. Do they mind if people keep transferring a few pence every few days?

    Thanks

    Signing up to this as my final 2018 challenge.

    I actually do this most weeks anyway. I have a bank account my parents hold that I can't touch (yes... at 27...) that currently holds £450 so will be transferring every £50 into that. The spreadsheet will be really helpful in keeping track of how much is in there! Not sure what I'm saving for, may invest all my savings at the end of 2018, considering my partner seems to be allergic to getting engaged (but hey, a girl can dream :rotfl:).

    Could I please have #17, lucky number! Thanks :D

    Hi all,

    Just a quick post to check that you can

    1. See the update form when you click the link, and you are able to submit your totals
    2. See the spreadsheet in read only mode.

    I have had to play around with the settings, as google already knew I had a form set up from this years challenge along with it wanting me to update to the newer version of google sheets..

    Please let me know you can view, probably someone like Kim_13 or Seaotter who has been on this challenge for a while.

    Thanks
