MuddyWhiteChicken - your post came in after I had done the updates so I will pick that one up on the 4th.
A big thank you to everyone who has said thanks for my efforts during the year - it's very much appreciated and it's been my pleasure to play a small part in maintaining the challenge and motivation for everyone during the year.
All that's left for me to say is to wish you and yours a happy, healthy and overpaying New Year!

Happy New Year to you all!
Thanks to JCL for all your hard work this year!
Sorry it's late but here's my update for December 2014:
£125 for December taking total to £2000, just met our target
Credit card bills are pretty big and we always pay off in full so this December and January won't have much money left over. It's not all Christmas shopping, I had two weekends away, home insurance was paid in full, our wedding anniversary and a new vacuum cleaner for mehowever we have kept back £500 to pay off the remainder of a 0% finance deal. Wouldn't bother except we will be applying for a new mortgage soon and the £49 a month will count against our affordability
Goals for 2015, rediscover my frugal self, particularly with grocery shopping! Move house! Ensure there is plenty of fun things planned so we always have something to look forward to2016 MFW OPd £2000, 2015 MFW OPd 3000 then bought new bigger house with bigger mortgage.Beautiful boys born May 2011 and October 2013

I know this thread has been a great source of inspiration for many people and it has been fantastic to play my part in keeping it going and seeing all of the great posts from everyone taking part.
Lomcevak has got the 2015 MFW challenge up and running so I look forward to joining you all there as we continue to work towards becoming mortgage free.
