  • Happy New Year all - a great year of saving for me, smashing my target of £15k and achieved £25,196! The saving on transport, work lunches etc has helped! 
    Hope you all stay safe this year and get saving for next year!

    Saved £901 in December! Which means I'm just shy of £12k for the year. But it's been an amazing year, thanks so much for running it Slowlyfading :)

    I will update the form now, sorry it's late

    Apologies for not making my submissions for the past few months - I have now done that @slowlyfading
    Thank you for all the hard work you do. It's very much appreciated.
    I've saved £4,155.62 for the year 2020 - I've probably saved more but I've lost track of it - must do better for 2021.

    #22 reporting another £1203.28 for December and form already submitted. My best year of saving ever and my targets smashed in what I know has been a horrendous year for many. :-(
  • Just updated the spreadsheet for the months of November £650 and December £1160. So that gets me slightly above my target for 2020 of £8000. Thanks for the encouragement and lets go for next of 2021.

    #25 reporting in for December, form already submitted. I managed to save £2,590 this month meaning I have hit my revised £15k target. The amount saved was boosted by some dividends coming in and still being on my rolling weekly contract, but I am not sure how long that contract will last now we are starting lockdown 3.0 :( so I have set a smaller target for next year.
    Good luck all for 2021 targets.

  • Form filled in. Thanks @slowlyfading for all your hard work running this challenge. 

    I haven't met my target this year, but the saving I managed meant that I hit my life target of getting a mortgage and buying my place, which was the plan for the savings anyway. Not far off though, and I think really my target was over-ambitious! Here's to 2021 and hitting new goals.
    Save £12k in 2025 #33 £2531.77/£5000 (If this carries on I might have to up my target!)
