    Good luck. It's definitely been a struggle for me and I will miss the target but every penny counts ultimately. Wishing you the best in the months ahead :-)

    No need to apologise your circumstances didn't give you the opportunity to save. Start when you got the funds too. Good luck 👍

    £40.86 put in for October so my challenge amount is now £600.31. Just one or two more payments to go.

    Congratulations for finishing @Portfan and sorry for your loss of work @Blackberrycurved. No need for apologies as life throws curveballs.

    Just a reminder to everyone that next year this challenge is being taken on to the main MSE board so I will not be running it. If anyone wishes to check how it will be administered there is an explanation and test boards available here.
