Hi @enthusiasticsaver, I'd like to try again in 2026. I wasn't good at updating this year [will try harder] but did get to £600 with the aid of a bank switch. I used the money to pay for Christmas and for the first time in many years, I've not had to use a credit card to pay for some of Christmas so thank you for organising this again.
I think it might work best for me to do the challenge 'backwards' with the monthly amounts from December '26 to January '26 if that makes sense.0 -
