    Well done everybody! The momentum is still going. There are just TWO days left of January to go, and we've got a great total so far (all to be revealed on February 1st!).

    A little bit of interesting trivia - the total declared paid in the previous challenges over the whole year was...

    2012: £589,252.80
    2013: £436,506.99
    2014: £539,733.54

    Three huge numbers, and we're well on track for another one. If that's not motivation, then what is? Every little counts - these totals were made with thousands and thousands of small payments, so keep plugging away at it.

    I'm off to do some ebaying... :rotfl:

    haha I am back in the red on the credit card now.

    Had to buy a new suit for a wedding in a few weeks. Jacket & trousers were £99, new tie £10, leather belt £13 and new shoes £79

    Still haven't got a shirt yet as they didn't have the right fit for the shirt I wanted. That is going to be £28.

    I also booked my fiancees birthday present in April. Overnight stay in a hotel in Stratford Upon Avon for £144 :)

    I did say to myself I would have a blow out month before starting savings hahaha
