    Morning all

    Lovely day here with the sun shining. :)

    #5 with 44.22 for this week.

    Only one more week left to add to my total for me this month and year.

    Westie, thank you so much for doing this challenge. It has helped me focus more and sometimes think before I buy anything so I have more in my online pots to move over.

    As the challenge officially finishes the end of the month how do we go about the pot for December? Can I still update the form with my totals or do I need to save it until January?

    Take care all

    GMAT

    Well done GMAT, I have updated the spreadsheet,

    Now in regards with the challenge ending, You can continue to post and send in the update form, and I will add that figure to your January total, when I start the 2017 challenge.

    I have been part of the this challenge for two years although my first year running it, and I found that by December people began to use funds for christmas presents, or to pay of debts, etc so thats the reason why I didn't include December in the challenge.

    This doesn't mean you cant continue to transfer into your VSP, but it means that you can have a month off if you wish, nothing worse then saving up and not getting to spend it, thats no fun at all.

    How does this sound?

    Sounds like a plan Westie.

    I'll continue to post and send in my update form to be added to Jan 17.

    Saving all I can at the minute as in the process of buying a new house and there's a few thing I would like for it

    Thanks

    Hello wonderful VSP savers!!

    I don't think I'll be updating my VSP for the remainder of the month so i will finish this month on £194.33

    I run my VSP from November to October so i will be including this total in my January total for next year since this is running January to November.

    Westie would you like me to send you a form and include it for November too?

    Good luck every one

    Yes send me a form for November total, you want me to hold it back till January, so you end in October, is that correct?

    I look forward to doing this challenge again next year. Managed to save £300.80 which is less than my target but I'm still really pleased with this. Thanks everyone :)
