    #6 declaring £680.5 for this month and £5142.19 in total for this year. After a shaky start I'm finally turning things around and should hit my target for this year.

  • So after getting the interest from Nationwide for October I can declare £998.29. Just shows what can be achieved when I have a good month!

    Total savings now roughly £4,600. With any luck I reckon I can hit £6,000 before the end of the year depending on Christmas but if I manage another two £1000 months I could still hit my £7000 target. It was always a stretch but it may just be doable!

    #69 with £3,057.32 for October, taking me to £26,322 for the year to date. After a slow start to the year it has been a good few months on the savings front, and November is looking the best yet - i've already stashed away enough this month to take me past my £30k target for the year.
  • No 44 reporting in. I saved £250 this month but raided £600 for my holiday so minus £350. £7,250/£7,500. Will check actual balances later this month and correct if I was wrong.

  • #186 reporting -£375.67 for September (my birthday month and I spent a lot of money....a LOT!) and a saving of £945.02 for October making a total of £8,802.27 / £12,000

    New target of £10,000 for me I think!

    what I had left over from last month after bills/spending (All accounts) I transferred to Halifax reward account... for 2 DD's rest I will save so about £500 and will not touch it..

    I do that each month so each amount I save is different but is going up each month... Will keep saving until I need that money for something
