    Stashed away another £800 this morning too to celebrate the start of December :) so just past £23k, there's £1100 scheduled to go out over the next ten days so now know i'll make my new £24k target :D

    Happy to say i'm now past the £24k point - not quite ready to declare for the year as there are a few minor payments to clear in yet, but as of right now i'm at £24,160. Really pleased by that as i've smashed my original target, and in total we've put aside almost £43k over the past two challenges. :D

    Thanks again SF for running this, great motivation to keep on target

    Well done Nat and Lomcevak! - both extremely impressive and amazing results.

    I will be declaring Christmas eve - as with Lomcevak- got a few things to pay first.... but should get through my target :-)
    My Goal: From 1st of Jan 2015 to 31st of December 2015 is to save 30000.

    48.78% towards 2015 target.

    105.3% towards 2014 target. :j

    WOW! :T Well done :) I wish I had enough income to allow me to put away amounts like that. Never mind, I will plod along with my £2k and be happy with my lot ;):D

    Merry Christmas everyone, this year has flown by and I have just submitted my last update for the year. I managed to squeeze out a few extra dollars this month to take me a tad over my target for the year. :T

    I'm not going near any more shops until the New Year and have cash in my purse to see me through the next couple of weeks.

    You've all done very well, look forward to catching up with you again in the new year. :T
