So close there to the end of the challenge. I actually have you down as having £612.35 in total so a slight discrepancy. Not to worry though.Coxy11 said:Hi all, some great saving going on here
I have been paid for November and my random number picker app chose numbers totalling 5836 so another £58.36 going into the pot.
#6 total savings to date £609.63 which includes £6.52 interest.

Glad it has helped you save and hopefully see you next year.stewartwilliams said:£157 here so far, which to be honest, is pretty good for me
Mostly been adding a few pence or £ from round ups rather than putting the exact amounts in.
Not sure whether to use whatever amount I have on the 1st Jan to put towards bills, or just use it against the 2025 challenge. I'll see what I get paid this month and next before deciding.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.

£95.85 sent to my savings account for November. I've already done December fortunately so that's me finished. Thanks for running this @enthusiasticsaver I've never had money saved specifially for Christmas before and wouldn't have had this year either if you weren't for you.

Getting there!

just wanted to say well done to all those who actually got all the way through this challenge. I really slipped, but think that was due to over stretching myself at a time when we were trying to pay off so many other things. Really looking forward to doing it next year though and I will stick with it then.Making the debt go down and savings go up

£53.50 added during November.
Plus £41.54 for December bringing the end of the challenge for me.
I'll be using this and/or money saved on another challenge to pay for Christmas and bring down the balance on my credit card (0% on purchases so no interest paid).
I'm not sure if I'll be joining the challenge next year as finances have changed and I need to prioritise other things in my life, although I do intend to join a savings challenge of some sort, just not sure which at the moment.
Thanks for organising this. I have enjoyed saving over the last two years.
