Im done too. £365 saved.
I'm going Christmas shopping on the 6th November, so these savings will be changed into $.
I'll be carrying on next year. Hope there will be a new thread.

£2 in for today;)
We're all getting towards the finishing line now and it's been a fabulous challenge and I look forward to doing the same again next year.
I can't wait to take the tin opener to my tins and start counting out all those £ coins...not so sure about carrying it all to the bank though:p

Another £2 in the pot, taking me over 98%. Now up to £33 for October and just £14 to find to meet this year's target.
Last year I spent £650 in total and that included food for 7 peops for several days. This year I have more funds and there will only be 3 to feed so I'm hoping to have a considerable surplus which I think I will add to my mortgage fund.
