2013 - Deposit Saving Year!
Hi All, I've been stalking these forums for quite a long time now, but I'm only just starting to post now! :) But I'm happy to say I'm here to join you in the savings diary area! My OH and I are finally starting on the savings road in order to get a deposit together to buy our first home! :j It's been a long time coming…
Just another savings diary
Hey, After getting so much inspiration on here, I decided I’d love to have somewhere that I can update daily on my savings, and also somewhere which can motivate me to save something everyday. I should probably say now, before I go on that I have no savings at all, I've just put £35 in my sealed pot and 80p into my green…
How much could you save?

I don't know what it was actually called. I want these two grandchildren to have some savings too so can anyone advise me on the best place to invest…
My Savings Diary.
I am going back to University in September 2013. Due to Student Finance's eligibility requirements, I am only eligible for one more years funding from them; my final year. As this degree will be a two year degree, I will be funding the first year personally, with fee's being approximately £5,000. In February I will deposit…
Unexpected saving
Used a £5 off £25 coupon but then I found in an ad after buying from buyagift.co.uk a discount code that offered 10% off since what I bought was £80 It would have been better to use the 10% code, but for whatever reason this code was not published anywhere only inside ad banners so I contacted them and they gave me the…
