I have just added my own modest efforts this month to the spreadsheet. It includes £226.50 from a Christmas Shopping event where I was selling some honey (and fudge). This is normally my best month for dividends so my total is boosted to £800.91 for November and the spreadsheet is updated to here

Ooh, homemade honey at Christmas fair sounds lovely! Have you been doing that for a while?

We have kept bees for a few years now, but until three years ago, we were not harvesting honey to sell. I need to find more sales outlets as I have over 200lbs still in my spare room, and maybe 60lb in jars in the sitting room, ready to go!

Thank you 😊

#41 Macsidia declaring £1,775 for November.

This month is another strong month because November was a 5 payday month so extra cash.

#47 t2rry reporting £1,250 for December please

Is this my final update of the year?  Maybe, maybe not.
Thanks for running things, this was my first year and it has been really interesting to see how I do against start of year predictions, which otherwise tend to go out of the window as the year progresses.

Congratulations! I'd say you've done really well; over 109% of your predicted savings target (and I never update my target in-year, I see any excess as contributing to the shortfall of others who lose the thread or can no longer save as anticipated). Hopefully we will see you back for the 2025 thread (usually at the end of the year, we are waiting on some forum changes

I'm quite short on my target, partly because I had extensive roof repairs, and partly because I had a considerably more sociable year this year! But I'm still proud of what I've saved. I've rejigged my budgets for next year as cost of living has bitten hard, and I also need a little bit more set aside for fun. Looking forward to the new thread

Well done to all completers so far.  I am still hoping to do one final update for December later on in the month.  

Watch out here for the new thread for 2025 later on this month.

I am in process of buying first property so these savings will now be obliterated

KeepOnKnitting

#29 reporting for November with savings of £422.45.

Hoping to reach target in December, but not quite sure it is going to happen. Then onwards for 2025!

Thanks for all your work running this @Suffolk_lass and @enthusiasticsaver
