Bumper month! Thanks to some overtime at work had a bit more money and have been trying harder to squirrel money away with my new P2P account!

Declaring £860 for November,

TSB - £207
HTB ISA - £200
Sharesave - £223
Saving Stream P2P - £230

Submitting to spreadsheet now.

This will take me £10,000 for the year, will see if I can somehow save a miraculous £2,000 in December to reach the £12k target. Fat chance of that with X-Mas! :rotfl:

HTB ISA - £200
Sharesave - £223
SS P2P - £7.85

£430.85 in total for December! Which takes my total up to £10,358.81/£12,000 (86%).

Congratulations to everyone, happy new year and see you all in the 2017 thread! :T

A good last month of betting has meant I surpassed my target by £300, was expecting it to be hit & miss whether I'd reach it

A good month for me this month with saving of 1,323.54 after a couple of regular savers matured in December. So after spending 2,500 out of my savings for a deposit on a car lease in September and having to reduce my target from 9k to 8k, my final total for 2016 is 8,215.91. Was hoping for a divi payment today but as its the weekend i doubt very much whether it will be in this year so declaring my total now. Well done to everyone whether they saved there target or not and roll on 2017:j:j

Hi all,
I have done my final tot up for the year. I am up £3887 from December 2015. I had saved more throughout the year, but our five week trip to New Zealand made a big dent in it. All in all I am happy with the total and glad that I ended the year with a positive amount.
Thank you SF for running this thread.
Happy new year.

My final post for this thread - I just made my target, getting to £4,083 (skin of my teeth!) But I actually took a hit for something I intended to use other savings for, so I'm happy about that.

Now to tighten the belt for 2017!!!

Final total of £5031.56. I made it!
Thank you so much for running this thread, SF, we really couldn't do it without you

Congratulations everyone!

My final 2016 update.

a small £350 saved in December, which means I hit my target and my total savings amount is now up to £10,108 which is the first time I've ever had above 10K.

Onwards and upwards for 2017!

I've submitted my December total

(It's actually my July-December total as I think must have forgotten to submit the last six times - has it really been that long?! - gone quickly)

Overall managed 119.57% of my original total, 92.99% of my stretch goal. Very happy with how it went.

Well done to everyone who took part in the 2016 challenge, thanks to slowlyfading for running it as always

See you for the 2017 challenge!
