    So I will amend my sig. I have hit 5,200 in 2010. woop.

    thanks!

    I will be starting off at 5k this year, so for the challenge purposes I will be saving 5k in 2011 and the £200 put away today will go towards the 2011 challenge so the numbers are even ;)

    Good luck everyone and merry christmas

  • Hello all -

    I'd love to join as the 10k in 2010 was a huge boost for me, but I'm a bit unsure on where to set my goals. I am hoping to get transferred overseas at work soonish, but have no confirmation on when that will happen (hopefully before the summer). I will be taking a large paycut, but my cost of living will presumably also fall as well (moving to Uganda).

    So I'll have a think about targets, then come back to sign up properly :-)

    Thanks! I'm definitely up for joining in again. It really motivated me last year to read how everyone was getting on and to post my totals. :D
    Wandered away from the MSE track for a while but am back and on a mission! Debts cleared nearly £18k. Now to start saving ...
  • Please can i join?? I joined the 10K in 2010 last year about half way through but got off track with it because i suddenly had a load of things to pay for at the end of the year. However, 2011 is a fresh start and even though 11k sounds like alot right now, even if i get anywhere close to that amount it will be great.

    Also, last year i was watching the 10k in 2010 and the people in the challenge were so inspiring, often surpassing the 10k target. :T
    Mortgage - £105,500

    Have added you all to the list. Tomorrow we start. If you could post your totals so far in a different colour that would help me to keep the list updated e.g £1 paid off so far.
    Thanks everyone and happy new year :D

  • Can I please join. I'll set my target as £11,000 paid off by the end of 2011, but I'm hoping to pay off more. Watch this space...
