    #18 with a belated £4027.02 for October - roof has sprung a leak in this awful weather, so that's putting a dent in plans at the moment.

    #49 reporting in!!

    Well at the end of October I was able to save £1,287.27 which now puts me at a total of £9,349.85 for the year so far!!

    Only £650.15 to go!!! Which going by the overtime I have done this month I reckon I should smash once I get paid it at the end of November!
    Savings Total so far for 2023: £8,062.58
  • #6 reporting £729.26 for October. That gives me a total of £5191.30 for the year.

  • I’m really hoping, and planning, to join this challenge for 2024! Can’t wait for the thread to sign up for it with a goal of 12k! It’s both exciting and daunting in equal measures. However, as the saying goes, ‘Nothing ventured, Nothing gained’!

    Wish me luck!
