I've done a full update so everyone's figures should be upto date and looking great.
Welcome to all the new members. Please remember to view the first post and have a read along with requesting permission for the spreadsheet. You simply need to sign in with an active account and I will add your details to the spreadsheet. This will enable you to view it. Nobody can view it without "requesting permission".
Please remember to complete the update form for December. Those peoples totals which are highlighted red show that they still haven't updated any total at all
We've broken the £2000 barrier for January which is fantastic

Thanks for the quick response. How are you doing MrCF apart from having to deal with the likes of me?

No just remove me from the challenge, as I don't want to be told or feel pressured into doing something I don't want to do. Told how easy something is when I know what works for me. Not that I will be pressured into it.
I have said a few times I don't want to use the spreadsheet, I want to do this challenge as I have last year.
Sorry guys. This challenge really helped me last year, and I wish you all the best in your quest. It'll be amazing for you all to see how easy it is to save and how quick the amount tots up.
I wish you all a Happy and Healthy 2015 and all the luck in the world for your saving challenges:)Pay all debt off by Christmas 2025 £815.45/£3,000£1 a day challenge 2025 - £180/£730 Declutter a bag a week in 2025 11/52Lose 25lb - 10/25lbs Read 1 book per week - 5/52Pay off credit card debt 18%/100%0 -
Damn had to take a pound out of the pot. I put in all my loose change when I get in from work, but then the tooth fairy needed a pound.
Thankfully my over paying in allows for times like this.Zebras rock0 -
I am struggling to keep track of what I am adding as I have not been able to do it every day; just as and when I have the change. opss!
I **think** I am on £11 / £31 so a little behind for Jan !!0
