    To report £1249.29 for November.. Spendthrift month. Watching Andy Murray Live at the O2 was well worth the price of the tickets though. I would recommend trying for last minute tickets next time, tickets were a fraction of the price on the day of the match itself!!!! *Heartbleeding*

    Hi slowly, sorry I'm late reporting for November. I had to wait for my expenses to be reimbursed. However, I'm reporting £2,000 for November! (After a big fat £0 for October.)

    With slowlyfading's permission I thought I'd share this spreadsheet for anyone interested in seeing the totals over all the years since the thread started;

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12xRvdFT1sVHdpaHBugnqZaEuPOb6_Vr46kaP_8T-ioo/edit?usp=sharing

    A few little observations;
    * apart from slowlyfading herself, only tara747 and freezspirit have been "ever present" since 2012 - hope you're both planning to sign-up again for 2017!
    * allie23 has almost been "ever present" apart from being away from the thread it seems for 2015
    * boglehead and gazzer666 have savings totals way ahead of everyone else
    * 165 people have joined the savings thread for at least 2 years, wow!
    Save 12k in 2013-2014-2015-2016-2017-2018-2019-2020-2021-2022 - then early-retired.

    A great little spreadsheet, which tells me I have been exceeded my target each year on average of 29.5% so I have something focus on, I have to try and save £15540...
