    #24 popping in to apologise for being rubbish at keep up with this. As with the 52-week challenge my Plum account/app does it for me so I don't think about it! It's also not January to December and it tots up the total for all-time rather than each year/challenge, both of which throw me for a loop! Anyway those are my excuses and I'm apparently up to day 259/365.

    As long as you have found a system that works for you that is good. I think you have dropped off my list but as your Plum account does the calculations for you I won't add you now.

    Almost into November now. I have just made my final payment for 2026. 99.69 which takes me to £700 so over target.

    Please remember this challenge will be done differently next year. Details no doubt will appear on the board as MSE takes it over.

    Hi everyone. I've finished the challenge (#23)! Earliest year yet. I got a bit of a bonus this month so thought I'd put it in here. This month I paid in £127.68 which actually takes me a bit over (because the total includes interest). Good luck everyone! Keep going! Thank you, @enthusiasticsaver, for running the challenge so efficiently :)
