In August this year MoneyMabel started a new thread which has ammassed over 7000 posts already! As long threads like this does have an impact on the smooth running of the boards I'm going to start a nice fresh new shiney thread for all you addicts out there :)
Here's to a great New Year and best of luck to you all!

The old thread: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1084651

And MoneyMabels post:
This is a thread for all you impatient people out there-whether it's a debt you want to pay off quickly or something you want to save up for but can't possibly wait another minute for!
Theres not a specific challenge, just pop in and have a chat about what you are doing to make that extra cash, put your target in your sig and hopefully we can help each other to get where we want to be NOW!!

    i'm not a very good saver although not a debtor either - i tend to spend what i earn or rather my 2 dd's do:rotfl:infact that's one of my new year resolutions to stop saying 'yes' to anything they want. although i did say no to buying 2 pairs of ugg boots - no way could i afford over 200 quid for them.
