    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

    I do lots of small transaction transfers and no bank has ever bothered me about it. The only comment I had in branch was that I could put it all into one account, but I explained to him that I had different pots for different circumstances :rotfl:

    Working in a bank, its not a problem, they just want debt paid off however that happens.

    Opening a new account is a good idea, and you can see the balance increasing and can check it against the spreadsheet as sometimes I make a mistake. (only human after all)

    Thanks for sending your total to me, I have updated it in the spreadsheet.

    Good Luck, Welcome to the challenge.

    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

    Westie983

    I feel honoured Westie! It looks fine to me - I've just posted £1 to test it for you!

    Hi Westie.

    Can I join again with number 13 (to keep things simple)? I'm setting a target of £700 this year to see if it is achievable :)

    I don’t mind changing to a lower number than 34, so there’s less of a gap on the spreadsheet if that’s helps

    Hiya, can now see both links on mobile :D not sure about PC as we are in the highlands at the moment!

    I don’t really know what target to set so will just see where it gets me. Rounding to the nearest £10 every week, saved £2.85 this week, early I know but we were not sure of the accessibility of internet up here so I’ll add that to my week 1 total! Exciting :T
