    Final update of 2015! :)


    I managed to save £791 in December (not bad actually with all the Christmas shopping and socialising I've been doing!).


    That's a 2015 grand total of £10,368 - less than I was aiming for, but still a pretty good year overall :beer:


    My new GRAND TOTAL is £95,207. I *will* hit the £100,000 mark in 2016, but for now I will celebrate my progress to date :D:D


    How's everyone else doing?
