    Don't forget to keep submitting numbers, right up to the last minute! :)

    Personally, I'm not going to meet my target, but anything saved is better than nothing! :j

    I have just updated for the last 2 paydays as I missed November, I have saved £11,800 so just slightly under my target but really pleased! I have decided to put savings on the back burner for a bit and just enjoy my life now as I have spent the last few years paying off my mortgage etc (see sig) and we need a breather. Its been a journey but glad to have made it and I will always be thrifty now. Good luck everyone for the future!

    I am not saving anything but will be concentrating on clearing debts first.
    It's really easy to default to cynicism these days, since you are almost always certain to be right.

    Well usually work my savings spreadsheet in the financial year but with one payday left to go of 2013 (I know reading that I definitely need to get out more!) I've just worked out I've done £ 15,703, so should clear almost £17,000, well over the target for the year, now just have to keep this house search up, so maybe won't be able to set a target for 2014

    I keep trying to add up 2013 but small amounts keep turning up; nothing massive, £10 here, £15 there. May be new year before I finally get to add it all together :D
  • It just hit me this morning...this is the first Xmas in my adult life that I have been debt free and I'm 48!

    Thank you SF for updating the lists and for all your hard work this year and I hope everyone has a fabulous Christmas.
