This is a good idea...we should revisit this thread on the 17th of June and see how we've done!:eek:
My targets are:

* Pay off Studio Catalogue (£140)
* Decrease DF Date by 4 months over what is originally forecast (at least) by making extra payments to my DMP
* Fill sealed pot so I will need a second one

Ooh what a good idea! I'm going to try to:

- Pay off Additions (£160)
- Have at least £250 in my emergency fund towards next Christmas / Car MOT
- Save my £2 coins in a sealed pot

My main aim is to fill my £500 coin bank with £1 coins. (it was really cheap - much better than a terramundi!)
I've been stuffing tenners in it too!

Because I have to destroy the tin by opening it with a can opener there is no temptation to dip into it.
I want to re-do the bathroom with the contents!

Mine will be to pay off the £1400 balance of my Egg card (although I have asked them for the £1,100 worth of PPI cover back as I have a pre-existing medical condition) - obviously if they pay it back, this might be easier!
Similar with Sainsburys - £1,380 balance and £1100 worth of worthless PPI cover;
Pay off my council tax arrears from 5 years ago (which the Council have only just got around to telling me about - all £700 worth! Only £360 left to pay);
Get a better deal on my mortgage when I come off my fixed rate in March - presently sub-prime on 6.59% but have had preliminary discussions with another firm at circa 5% (saving me £120 a month - thankfully I'm looking for 50% LTV so quite favourable);
To continue seeing an improvement in my credit score enough that in July, I can get rid of my 8 year old car and get something a bit more reliable!
