  • Happy Friday one and all.  We seem to  be getting ever closer to the end of the year now.  October on Sunday and I have just counted out the uncoloured numbers on my spreadsheet and there are 52 numbers and 13 weeks until the end of the year.  So if my maths is correct that is 4 numbers per week for me.  

    I have just ticked off  the following to make £12 for my first October payment as it is pension day today. 

    £2.90
    £2.91
    £3.09
    £3.10

    So now 48 numbers left to colour in.  I will see you next Friday.  Keep going. Have a great week.

  • Hello enthusiasticsaver,
    Anna_v here No54, I have banked £61.07 for July, new total now is £596.85…thank you.
    Hope you are well and happy. Everyone seems to be doing really well with the challenge…so pleased I have managed to stay with it.
    Thank you again for all you do.😀
  • After potting a modest/easy amount for September (and promising to make up for it in October) I am going to continue the ‘easy’ theme, so that the total amount for the month and the running total overall is a nice round number…this also satisfies my ocd tendencies  :s

    So, for the October update I’m happy to confirm….

                                                                #86 Topscooby £700 for October (giving a savings total of £2700 for the year…so far! )

    Can’t believe we are so close to the end of the year and, subsequently, the challenge. Keep going everyone, every penny counts!

    Andy  :)
    £12k in 2025 #27 ( £7,000 / £12000 ) 🤞
    £12k in 2024 #18 (£14,000 / £12,000)…Goal surpassed 🙏

    Thank you ES - #17 reporting in 

    I am working down my pre-picked list of random numbers and September's total is £54.51 to my Bonus saver  (am already topping up reg savers so this will have to do).  This takes my challenge total for 2023 up to £506.70
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    #15 transferred 23.25 today to savings - getting closer now as I only have one more payment to go (ending challenge end of November). 
  • #33 reporting in. 
    £52.13 saved for September so a total of £597.67 plus £8.55 interest. :)
    Less than £100 to go now so should be fairly easy.
