  • Everyone has come on so well with this saving this year, don't you all think?
    What are people going to do with the money when this challenge ends?
    I can't decided whether to keep the balance and just add to it with the 2012 challange, bung it into my ISA (gets more interest!), use it to pay off bit of mortgage, use it in the sales. Christmas gift shopping is pretty much all done already.. I'm sure if I think for longer there'll be even more ideas that come to mind.

    I really love the look of this. I may run this until our wedding (next June)... and see what we can get in there by then!!!

    When do you allocate numbers?
    I will start doing it from this Friday coming I think!

    I'm probably going to put my saved money in the bank after every £10.
    That way I can save up in case my friend gets the house hes paying for & is letting me & my boyfriend move in or get married in the next few years to my boyfriend (All being well after his heart op), or use it for something that is needed.

    What ever comes first really.
