Apologies; I didn't realise how long it was since I had last done it

I can't wait to do this for 2018!! I began saving regularly in July and am so far happy with my total! I do wish I had been a bit more careful with my money rather than spending it on booze and nights out (I'm 19) but as they say it's better late than never!House Deposit: £5,015.37:j
Make £2018 in 2018 - £1399.45/£2018

Congrats on figuring that out by age 19 but don't go all scrooge - you are allowed to enjoy yourself until you're 21, not a day longer though 0 -

Hi All, declaring £2580 for October, which takes me just over my £24k target for the year :j:j:j. I am delighted with that total. As always huge thanks to SF for running the challenge and I will definitely be signing up for the 2018 challenge.0
