  • Right, spreadsheet is updated and I've added everyone who wants to sign up to 2021 to the new one so there's no leaving now!

    Hope everyone is ok; trying to distract myself following the news this evening. I just want to spend some time with my Mum, but it's not meant to be this year. Hopefully soon :(
    I hope you have a lovely Christmas with the children Slowly, even if it's not as you would have wished. I'll now have to spend it on my todd, but I'm strangely looking forward to the peace and bit of over indulgence! It'll be a weird time for many of us, so I hope everyone has a good a time as is possible and keeps safe.

     Just checking-in to see what the Totaliser spreadsheet is saying for everything saved since this thread started in 2012...and we're just £43k short of a cool Ten Million!! Can we get there before the end of 2020, people?

    Oh my gosh, that's amazing!! So glad I started this thread back in 2012 B)
    You should be proud, Slowly that is quite an achievement. Looking at the Totaliser tonight, we have reached  a total saved of £9,999,227.57 - so near!
    Save 12k in 2013-2014-2015-2016-2017-2018-2019-2020-2021-2022 - then early-retired.

    Still lots more people to declare - I have a couple of dividends that are really late but I might leave them - I can't afford to omit my regular savers though (normally both on 26th but obviously the bank is shut then) - I'll declare as soon as they are in. Should we nudge the weekly email team or would that make the explosion of DOTDs (declare once then disappear) worse? £10m here we come!!
    Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)
    OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I am at £1286.68/£3000 or 42.89% of my annual spend so far
