Ooh can I join?
I'll make my aim £5000 - £500 a month minus the interest (roughly). This is going to be a BIG ask and will require some overtime/extra income. Hopefully this thread will help keep me motivated in 2011!
I'll start tomorrow, my pay day for January comes early in December. Which means 5.5 weeks until the next one! :mad:
