    No. 10 here reporting a big fat nil for December - there was quite a bit of planning for January though, and hopefully it will save a little money this year. I didn't reach target but am thinking that now I am part-time I should probably lower it anyway, to be honest. That's a question for this year though. Best of luck to everyone for the 2021 challenge! :)

    Hi

    #6 reporting in with saving of £1,376.01 in December, for an overall total for the year of £17,032.98/£15,000.00.

    I’m so pleased to have not only reached my target (which I originally viewed as a stretch target when I set it last year) but to have surpassed it by more than £2K. I have been extraordinarily lucky to have a very stable job, the ability to work from home and significantly reduced travel expenses due to working from home, all of which combined to put me in the position I’m in. 

    Form submitted.

    Huge thanks to @slowlyfading for all you do on this thread.

    See you on the 2021 thread.
