#2 reporting £51.69 for November, planning on trying to do December quickly if I can, almost finished.It is the job that is never started that takes the longest to finish. Tolkien.Save 12k in 2025 No 18 365 1p challenge 2025 No 20

Quite a few of us are nearly at the end of the challenge now. Collectively of the challengers still remaining we stand at 75% so I think we will struggle to reach 100% but any savings are better than nothing. Well done to those who have stayed the course.
I have been asked by MSE if I will run it again next year. This will be my fourth year I think and this year only about a third of those who signed up stuck with it so I am still weighing it up and if I run it again how it is best to monitor progress. Watch this space if you are interested in doing the challenge again next year.

#2 with £77.86 for December. That should be the challenge finished for me this year. I would be up for doing the challenge again next year if you are running it.It is the job that is never started that takes the longest to finish. Tolkien.Save 12k in 2025 No 18 365 1p challenge 2025 No 21

Hey good people, #9 checking in. I do not think I'll be making any savings for December, @enthusiasticsaver put me down as £0. I wish I could reach the goal but I've had a good run of it. Personally circumstances are permitting me from putting anymore. Hopefully I can be involved for the 2026 season, loved it! ☺️2

Well done to @sstevo19 and @sonas_baby for finishing and to @BeyondDirect981 for getting over 80% of target.

Hi everyone. I've just transferred £69.85 for December (#46), which takes me slightly over the total (I've been including interest in my totals, less of a headache for me).
Thanks so much @enthusiasticsaver for running the challenge this year, and for everyone else who joined in. Keep going those who haven't finished yet, every little helps!
I'll be joining again in 2026; so glad to hear you'll be organising it again, @enthusiasticsaver!2 -
Well done but I think I must have missed your November update as the total shows as 602.87 with nothing showing for last month. I will trawl back to see if you updated.thegreenhouse said:Hi everyone.
