  • :hello:Hi all! just popping in to say 'Hello!'

    I am still up for the challenge, just haven't had much time lately as had a little baby girl last Sunday! :grinheartIt's quite time consuming this mothering business! lol... totally loving it and am even more motivated (if that is possible!) to get rid of the debt and start some savings for her future.

    Anyway been trying to catch up on the thread but there is LOADS of it so haven't managed it all just yet and whilst my little princess is sleeping I am off to Tesco.com to do my shopping!

    Well done to you all so far, from what I have read you are all doing SOOOO well!:T

    Keep up the hard work guys! :D

    This looks like a great challenge, dont think ill join as £10k is such a lot of money! I have no chance! But will be trying to save as much as poss! - Never know how much i make on ebay/cashback etc as dont usually add it all up!

    Do you count overtime at work in the money earnt?
    I have no debts, and about 3k Savings (would love to save up for a new car) Haha, only contracted to work 15 hrs a week, £360-£370 every 4 weeks, should i add anything i make over that into my target amount?

    Wont be able to save half as much as i have been due to my disability benefits stopped and having to go through an appeal with that which will take a while

  • Congratulations lookingtothefuture, :j
    Why don't you join in krazykel after all nothing ventured nothing gained. Im counting anything that I manage to pay off my debts but I can't see why you can't count anything you manage to add to your savings.
