    I'll update post 10, my registration post, within this thread on or around the 15th of the month, along with my signature next year. The main totals on post 1 could be updated from either. I've also subscribed to this thread.

    I'll also make a record in that post of my final year ending position too for the record.
    Can I be cheeky and ask you for an update on the last day of every month? it'd just be easier for me that's all.... :o

    That's fine, it's just when I get paid :j

    Hopefully the challenge savings pot will be the same mid month as it will be at the end as I don't plan to dip into this fund once the money is in this pot.

    Slowlyfading, can I change my target to the orginal challenge, £12,000?

    I have worked it out that this could be achieveable!!! (using this thread to keep me focused!!)

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hi All,

    There's no way I'll be able to do this as all my extra cash is going to debt/mortgage repayments (just check out the HHHUUUUUGGGEEEE list in my signature!)

    However, I wish you all the best of luck! :D
