    #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. 

    Keep going to the rest of the challengers.

    £167.95 paid in and now a sigh of relief as it’s completed,I will admit it really was a challenge some months.


    Well done on finishing the challenge.

    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.
