#1 checking in with update for November so far. I have just added £50 to my savings space so the current amount so far is £550. £117.95 to go until I finish the challenge. I think I may be able to add a further £50 later on this month so that will leave £67.95 in December.

For those who have not updated for a while why not pop on the thread and share your progress. Of the 69 people who signed up last year only 25 are still posting which is a shame.
There are some who are close to finishing including myself.
