    Hi @Suffolk_lass  For 2026 could I move to a low as possible number please? Ideally, number 6 but I understand this may not be possible. Preferably, an even number to satisfy my ocd too! 

    Thanks

    Next year will be my third one. If this qualifies me as a regular I'd love a number that's easy to remember as I always have to check my signature or I get it wrong 🤣

    #27 Topscooby £850 for December please. There could  well be more to add to this but I won’t know for definite until after Christmas 🎅 Fingers crossed, if all goes to plan it will enable me to exceed my goal for the year. 🤞

    #18 reporting £1163.25 for November.  So have reached target with a month to go. Would love to do this challenge again next year, any number that is easiest for you to assign would be great. 
    It is the job that is never started that takes the longest to finish. Tolkien.

    Well done to all those challengers who have finished.  

    I would like to continue in 2026 @Suffolk_lass and happy to stay at #1 or #2. I will stand in for you whenever as it seems to have worked out quite well this year. Good plan on keeping regulars in the top part of the spreadsheet.  I will be adopting that plan with my other savings challenge.

    I think it is probably best that people wait until the new thread goes up before requesting numbers etc otherwise @Suffolk_lass will need to trawl through every post to avoid missing someone out. 

    Of course I note the irony of me not following my own instructions ;) I will also post on the new thread though once it is up.
