    Happy Sunday to all savings challengers.  Lots of updates and I have been busy elsewhere so only just got around to updating.  

    Well done to @LittleMissDetermined and @geordiejon for completing the challenge five months early.  

    I have added £60 to my savings space for August so my total now stands at £431.61.

    hi, thanks very much for running the challenge, i spent less on holiday and was going to keep going with this but decided to add the money to my 12k challenge.
    will be back next year if its still running as i said over the last 2 years this and 12k have got me into a better frame of mind financially than ever before.

    can i just add my thoughts on this challenge.
    i normally run it dec-nov as i want to use anything for xmas presents, the first year i did this on my own without posting i only saved around £200, did i think this was failure, no as the year before i had nothing.

    so for anyone saving it doesn't matter if you reach your goal or not, it gives you a mind set for next time, life events often take over in real life so never think of it as a failure every pound is a positive.
