    Hello everyone

    How quickly a week passes.

    £5.72 transferred for me this week. A grand total of £27.66. May have a little more this weekend once my balance changes. Transferred from two accounts. Its making me dizzy :rotfl::rotfl: but all for the good.

    I have saved so much more this year than I have in a long time. Sorting my debts and making sensible choices when it comes to spending or not which means I can save more. Long may it continue.

    Need to catch up with all the posts but popping over to SPC to update that.

    :D:D
    Its so cold..wrap up everyone.

    Hello, I'd really like to join this group - is it just a case of asking on here?

    I've been an avid reader on MFW and DFW for a while now, but am finally taking the plunge to get things moving! No more procrastinating! :p

    If I need to do anything specific to get my virtual pot logged please point me in the right direction?

    Thank you.

    Hi wonga.com
    I have taken Sue-UU's warning and as she has done on the Sealed Pot I will add you once you have proven yourself to be genuine.
    If you are - then I will add you to our ever growing list, in the meantime all you need to do is set up a online savings account and read the details in post 1 of the thread.
    Thanks

    Thinking about it, can you update my target to be £500 please Palema - at this rate, I'll be blasting through my original £200 target in mid March! :eek:

    Isn't it just? I was anticipating a fiver or so a week. But I've gotten a bit obsessed and am now clearing down to the nearest tenner every day or so.

    Now wondering what to spend the money on when December comes around - £500 seems a bit "excessive" to just blow on Christmas - but would make a good start to my 2012 project of saving for a house deposit (that comes after I finish 2011 project: clearing my cards and BNPL purchases :D).

    Use some for Christmas, and if needed clear the debt with the rest?

    I'm on the saving for a house deposit quest myself at the minute - I have just restarted that after a year of treating myself - wiped my savings to buy a 10 plate car - all £6400 of it :eek: (was needed, old one costing loads in repairs and need it for babysitting jobs) then spent money on weekends away, new camera, concerts and generally wasting money again :o
    This meant I was not putting anywhere near as much money as I should have been putting away towards a house - Should have a pretty good deposit sometime in 2012, if all goes to plan!! :D
