Happy 2019 everyone!
Finally done accounts for Dec 2018 which came up to £1448.51. I could really do with cutting down on unnecessary Amazon shopping over the Christmas period.
That a total of £20,041 over 2018.
Well done everyone!! Keep chipping away in 2019!

Happy New Year everyone!
My slightly belated end of year tally brings me to £2,924.29. A shade shy of £3k, but I still think I did bloody awesome! Thanks for letting me join in, and I am looking forward to more savings fun in 2019.

The total's not over a million this year - that's a shame! Not saying £870,000+ isn't amazing but it's always great when everyone together get over the million mark.0

I don't know Tara
tho I did notice that a lot of people dropped out this year, but then people always drop out. It might be a combination of the two? I'd like to know. 0 -

Yes, could be a factor for sure. Savings probably the first thing to go if a person is stretched financially.Get to 119lbs! 1/2/09: 135.6lbs 1/5/11: 145.8lbs 30/3/13 150lbs 22/2/14 137lbs 2/6/14 128lbs 29/8/14 124lbs 2/6/17 126lbs

I think you are right. The other thing I think though, is the large number of January sign-ups who don't remember to set up the subscription to the thread (in thread tools!) and forget it or can't find it when they later lookSave £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)
