    Hi, I followed the 2013 thread and really hoped to make a decent start to saving myself for the year to come. Trying to save up for a house deposit, could I join for £7,500 please?

    Hello SF,

    Thank you for all your efforts this year, the thread has been great.

    Can I go for £6000 in 2014. I don't think I'll do it so it will be a great goal :)

    I've been following the last thread with keen interest and would definitely like a go this time round. Aiming for £12k which although achievable - will certainly be a challenge! Thank you.

    Don't know what 2014 holds in store for me (financially), though I doubt if I'll be able to save as much as I did this year (2013); This was a one hell of a bumper year! I already have plans on spending my hard earned money next year, so I'm not even sure if £12K saving is even achievable next year. But, I'll give it a go - £12K please SF.

    Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all of you out there. May 2014 be a prosperous year for you all.:beer:

    Regards
