    Declaring 1,220 in December for the last month of the challenge. That makes my overall totals or the year £16,802.

    Absolutely delighted about that, most I've ever saved in a year by a mile!!

    Looking forward to the 2013 challenge. Well done everyone on their totals! :)

    But at least its a good one!!!

    Right so down to business!

    Regular Saver 1: £250.00
    Online Saver 1: £1000.00
    Online Saver 2: £721.18

    Grand Total = £1971.18

    I am so pleased with my total for December because it means that I broke through the 18k barrier! £18000.00 is an incredible amount of money!!! I have to keep repeating it to myself - cos I just cant believe it!

    I am so really proud of myself (even if I say so myself) for sticking to my frugal lifestyle and putting in all the hours that I could at work and Ebay!! I seem to have forgotten how miserable I was when I think about all the nights out I missed or the nice clothes I wanted at the time... cos it's ALL BEEN WORTH IT!

    Everyone else seems to have done well and I am now looking forward to 2013.... may you all have a prosperous new year and a good money saving one too! Hope to see you all on the 12k in 2013 thread!

    Late to the game, but have updated the past three months and calculated my grand total of...

    £9227.48!

    It's under my £10,000 target, but not by as much as I was expecting considering how bad my totals were for the past three months.

    I need to get better at this for 2013 though. Life has gotten a bit more expensive for me but I will still try for a £10,000 target. This topic has really helped me, so thank you!!!

    And well done to all of you, it's a good start to 2013 to know that we have saved so much last year. Hope you can use it for something really worthwhile in the future!

    Well I have decided what I am going to do with my 2012 savings, although it is not what I planned :(

    I loaned the Ex money to help start up his business but as I didn't have any at the time I took out a loan to help him (his credit rating is shot to pieces and he wasn't an ex at the time). I have decided to pay off the loan with the money saved. I am not concerned about him not repaying it, I know he will, I just want a clean slate and no debt hanging over me (I am debt free but my name isn't due to this loan). Of course, I won't be telling him I am repaying it!! I will just have to pay his monthly instalments into my account instead of the lump sum I planned. Never mind, at least I will be all clear in myself.

    2013 money is mine!!!! (and Little Miss Gap's since it is towards our expensive holiday :D )
    Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
    Mortgage today = £166,457.86
    300 282 payments to go.
    House buyout fund £3,261.67/£40,000
    Random Pick Fridays = £80.01

    Sorry it looks like I am late to the party :eek:.
    I was away until the beginning of Jan and hadn't organised my spreadsheet until now.

    My savings total for Dec was £534.00 bringing my total savings in 2012 to £3372.00 :T.

    I didn't meet my original target but considering the fact that the year didn't turn out the way I was expecting (work-wise), it isn't too bad.

    Thanks for all your hard work slowlyfading!
