    I missed October's update and made a mistake in September's, so

    September - £2433.37
    October - £1212.88

    So i'm a bit above £25k so far, very pleased with how the year's gone :)

    Catching up on half a year's savings:

    Already reported:
    £1032.59 in January
    £418.05 in February
    £148.35 in March
    £674.62 in April

    New savings:
    £913.13 in May (includes £228.58 in dividends from May-Nov)
    £706.08 in June
    £660.33 in July
    £912.63 in August
    £1000.00 in September
    £1000.00 in October
    £1001.00 in November

    I'm not anticipating any savings in December, so that's it for me for the year - £8,466.78/£12,000. Didn't hit the target but am still very pleased with my progress!

  • The breaks were well and truly applied to my savings progress back in the summer! Mainly because I decided I needed a holiday and hence we went away for a week but also had some other unplanned costs which meant savings had been limited.
  • Currently on track to reach target by end of the year and that was with not being able to save anything for a few months due to "life" throwing in a few challenges....


    slowlyfading if you are doing this again next year please include me :D
