    Saved £500 for November and £760 for December.
    Slowly fading I think I may have put press November instead of December for the £760. Shall I fill out another form?

    Congratulations SF.

    I am continuing to try and squirrel money into savings so won't declare final total until the last day of the month. Have managed to keep Christmas spending to £700 (which is good for me!).
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • £2700 this month; a bit of overtime and reconciling money in and out over the year, which gives me a 2017 total of £66,000. This does include my very atypical pension lump sum, but also my "normal" target of £10k.

    All the very best to everyone for an merry Christmas and happy, peaceful and prosperous new year. See you all at the new place! :)

    Apologies for not updating; I had a baby three weeks early last week so we've been in hospital for almost a week and then settling in at home. Life with two is certainly interesting....!

    I will update the spreadsheet soon, promise :)

    Congratulations slowlyfading. :beer:

    Just realised I haven't declared my final total - I won't be saving anymore between now and the 31st so reporting my final saving of £1962.48 for December. This brings my total to £9104.67 overall for this year. I'm really happy with this, particularly because this month has been very spendy and expensive and also a tough year overall.

    Thanks so much slowlyfading for running this thread and for everyone participating.
