I'm very excited as I set myself a challenge of reaching £21k by the end of the year and I'm right on track.

This thread is great for encouragement and ideas.

Thanks everyone!

Tara well done on hitting the target and at least you haven't gained any weight either.

I like thinking of it that way actually LOL!

I knew it was coming, but I'm still disappointed. I hit the 50% target last month, and now I've just dropped below it again. It was an expensive month, not to mention one particularly extravagant weekend of eating out - lots.

So... I'm being very harsh on myself this December, and am determined that I should suffer a little to pay for my indulgences last month. No treats for this Dwarf.

Hey guys, everyones doing so well on here, i hope to be doing as well from now on. Iv got round to getting my bond ready for some serious saving next year! Currently i have £566.83 in there and hoping to add £450 from next payday(paid next friday but il be putting it in day before my next pay in January. Will be usual 2 weeks + holiday pay. Iv got a 1 year bond that matures in November next year which is exactly what i need. Im aiming high with an aim of £10k by the 31st of December 2010 which would be amazing and nothing short of a miracle if you knew me lol. So if i have £1k at the start of the year then il need £750 a month. Hopefully i can save £818 a month on average to get that £10k by November then instead of saving it in December il spend it on an xmas shopping weekend away(like i did this year only il deserve it and be able to afford it better next year. Itl be hard work, il be making every penny a prisoner, putting in as much overtime as i can at work but itl be worth it to see the "balance available : £10,000 " I was thinking i might start my own thread in this forum as a spending and saving diary, spending as little as i can while earning and saving as much as i can where anyone can join in with a simular target. 2010 is going to be my year i think

Rictus What bond have you got? Is it fixed rate? I hadn't looked at those as i thought they didn't allow additional deposits.

Iv got a 1 year fixed rate bond with barnsley bs. All it said was min first deposit of £100, and it says can only withdraw in "exceptional" circumstances. Theres not an option to withdraw online but it does say available balance is £100 under the total in there.
