    #047 reporting in with £1,653.85 for October. Helped by a fifth pay day this month and interest from my regular saver. :beer:

    Takes me to 90% of target with two months to go, but aiming to get to target in November.

    No. 22 here declaring £1,958.09 for October. This despite my car failing its MOT and needing a bit of work. I am kicking myself for all the money I must have been wasting all these years! I never knew I had it in me to save money properly like this. I had another good month on eBay/Amazon, which helped.

    Seriously impressed Cathy!

    Regular savers have gone out this this morning and I've officially hit my 2015 target! Not going to revise it again but just see how much I can manage by the end of the year.

    As I'm not saving into my long term savings for the rest of this year (having met my target I'm topping up my rainy day fund until next year) I thought I'd submit the interest earned instead on my ISA so I feel I'm still contributing to the total for this thread lol. So, a whopping £10.65 for October! Hey, every little helps right?! ;)

    Declaring £441.58 for October. Very pleased with that - especially with a big birthday in there and a trip to New York! :D

    But I think I will miss my over all target - just a matter of seeing how close I can get now!
