    yeah i was thinking of setting a goal for next year!

    i save £25 a week so over a year (£25x 52weeks) £1,300

    i have been making £10 a day extra for the last 7 months but i am not sure how long i will be able to keep it up and it is not always cash!

    what do you lot recon would be a good reasonable saving target?

    well if i could save £25 a week like i usually do that would be £1,300 :confused:
    IF i could do £10 a day too that would be £3,650:T

    £1,300 + 3,650 = £4,950!!!:j oh my god that is a lot!! eeekkk:eek:

    well i may as well round that up to £5k!!! :eek: :rolleyes:

    scary but that would be so cool

    the only problem is some of the money for the £10 a day thing is vouchers!
