    Thanks also to slowlyfading for running this thread - I would not have remotely achieved anything like the above amount without it so I owe you greatly. :) BTW, don't know if anyone has said this before but re your MSE name and your own financial savings feats, you seem to me more "rapidlystrengthening" than "slowlyfading" - just saying :) ha ha :) it's maybe not quite as catchy though :)
    You're more than welcome, and thanks :D

    Wow, well done all!

    For the final month of the year I managed to save £1,607.88 - extremely happy with this amount, and takes my total to just over 102% of my total (and over 150% of my original total).

    Good luck to everyone in 2016!

    Declaring £3454.91 for December, so a final total for 2015 is £29,202.10 against a target of £24,000 - looking back it seems I started off with a target of £18k and then upped it, so very pleased with that.

    A bit late and I don't expect SF to update, but as part of my review of my finances for 2016 I've ditched a planned spend for this year and moved a regular saver to long-term savings - under 'my rules' (I only count money that I don't have plans to spend) this ups my challenge total by £2k. So my final result for 2015 is £31,202.10

    Very happy with that :D

    I've just submitted my final update form for 2015. I'm a little short off my target of £12k but really happy with the final amount of £10,100 savings :)


    Thanks Slowly Fading for running this challenge. It gave me that much needed accountability.
