I will be in again for next year. I only ave two presents left to buy, one for my sister and one for one of my nieces. I am waiting for a 40% friends and family discount in a dept store to get the final two

£31 in for me today for October, so that's me done. I won't crack open the tin yet, but will put a few more odd coins in until I start again in November for 2017.

I don't have a huge number of presents to get, but I like using this fund for all the Christmas events and treats that can add up. I can socialise without feeling guilty

Thanks a lot to Ellie for her work on keeping us all motivated :T

Hello everyone,

I've updated totals where requested and as you all give me your final totals, I'm going to update the second section on the first page of this thread with our cumulative total for the year.

I know Wenthedaywell has finished but I haven't added your total yet because you are still adding some extra.

We started this challenge on 1st December 2015, does everyone want to start the next one on that date? If we are all happy with 1st December then I will set up a new thread and we can start all over again:cool:

We have saved a fantastic amount of money between us and we should all be very proud of ourselves. I will raise a glass to each and every one of you over the Christmas period:beer:

Keep going for the next few weeks, we're in the home straight now:money:

Im finished too, I have already used my money to buy my presents, and I just need to wrap them all up now.

I am happy with the 1st December, although its not actually 365 days unless people are still going to be potting right up till November 30th?

Look forward to the next challenge being launched.

I'd love to be counted in for next year please Ellie

I have loved this challenged. It has kept me motivated and whilst I always love Christmas, this year is going to be amazing (although I am planning to keep some of my savings back for January sales to start 2017's present pile off nicely).

Well done everyone - amazing achievement by us all to save what I am sure will be a fantastic total -x-

1st December sounds good - a nice easy date to remember and work to
