How much can you save?

NR have a 4% fixed ISA until December 09. Thing is, I want to fill up this years ISA before I transfer last years and this years into it, but I can't fill it up until beg of Feb as thats when my fixed savings matures.

ARGH, it'll be gone by then

LOL, do what I did and ban yourself from all the betting websites just to make sure you don't relapse.:money:

I never really did it online... I was mainly spending a lot of time in the local betting shop trying to make more money but as its gambling being gambling it always backfires.

I used to use Betfair and Coral online. But In a way I'm glad I lost that money as it has taught me a very valuable lesson! Hopefully by the end of the month I'll have £18,000 saved up (never had this much in the bank before:D)

Congrats - hope you do have!

Our coppers were cashed in in December.... had £12.50 in there from 2008.

My silvers yielded £38.50 and MrEL has £36.00. This cash was used for New Years eve, making it even more fun!

Then we are still saving £500 a month into ISA for deposit and around £250 each into our own accounts since both ISA accounts are now full for 2008/2009.

Here's to the year ahead...

I don't think I have it in me to make £10 a day - unless salary counts :P

But thanks for the thought anyway

You're welcome - you don't have to do £10, you could always do less but join in to help you along and give you ideas. More than welcome if you change your mind

I put an extra £100 in my S&S today because I've got extra money from budgetting woop, so that order will go through next week.

I've finally sent my job acceptance letter off, hopefully I should get a response but will email her (her being the recruitment woman person).

Got one exam left urgh, tomorrow morning. I am in a skype conference with a couple of my course friends and we are all revising ha. And 1 assignment due in on Monday which is going to be difficult to finish in time

I've rethought about the £10 a day challenge, after just renewing my annual travel insurance policy and getting £20 cashback, and I was paid £6 cashback a few days ago (though technically earned in 2008)... I know I probably wont be able to make £10 a day, but with everyone's ideas, I might be able to do respectably.

And what's the point of a challenge, if it isn't challenging?

Can you paste the link as I've no idea where it'll be?!

Thank you!

Hope this works! If not its on DFW board and there's a sticky with all the challenges
