    I imagine there's still more to add.

    Will we hit £2,000,000?

    Coming a bit late, but final update for 2016 is £3486.16 for December to make a total of £31,945.60 saved in 2016, so really happy to beat my £30k target.

    Huge thanks to SF for running this and keeping me motivated. Adding up the last four years of challenges comes to £103,449.97 saved - I couldn't have done it without you :D

    Slowly, I'm really sorry, but I was away from Christmas Eve until after 1st January and up to my eyes at work thereafter, so I haven't updated for December 2016. I'll do that right now, another £1100.

    Hi all,

    Just realised I never entered by Dec 2016 savings so I've submitted the form.

    #025 declaring £500 for December 2016.
