Only half a percent off my target now :cool:0 -

I've opened the first of my two tins today as I am ready to start my Christmas shopping. The total from that tin was £497;)
I'm going to carry on putting my ££'s in my second tin for a couple more weeks to complete the challenge.
Thank you Mr CF for organising the challenge this year and I look forward to doing the same again in 2016.

DUNNIT!!!!
£4 to add today, bringing November's total to £9 and my year's total to......... £731 / 100.1% yea!
I shall keep going and hopefully get a headstart on next year, perhaps even plan to go away over Xmas 2016 . :santa2:0 -
Good for you Triple Choc, well done!
I'm still putting my ££'s in my second tin and will do until the end of November. In the meantime, I need to take the first lot to the bank so I can start my Christmas shopping.
I'm going to start saving for Christmas 2016 from 1st December;)

Thanks Ellieseleven.
I've exceeded my expectation. I thought I would fall behind by about July but I'm sure having this thread to post in keeps me focussed.
Is there a 'Make a million in a year' thread? That might work too.....
£8 to add today taking November total to £170 -

£2 in for today and contents of first tin now deposited in my current account ready for my Christmas shopping next week.
This thread certainly does help to stay focused and I think we have done brilliantly throughout the year and we can now reap the rewards;)
A million might be out of my reach too until I complete my DMP but a thousand might be doable.
We seem to have lost Mr CF along the way but I think we should still declare our total amounts saved and set up a similar thread for Christmas 2016
Well done everyone, let's give ourselves a pat on the back, fantastic achievements by us all:T
