Hmmm HMMMMM.
Overspending last month, overspending this month already (too much drinking involved, oppsy). I have put £150 into savings to make £10k. I aim to put in £300 this month but not sure if this is happening. At the moment, it is not.
Congrats on reaching £10k!ISA savings: £25,139 Other Savings: £1750 (tied up in bond)0 -
Just added £133.32 into my bond. So upto £700 now. Its away so i cant waste it. Hopefully il still have some money left after getting a few xmas pressies and i can add an extra £100 on the 23rd, the day before my next pay. My pay on the 24th is my usual fortnight+2 weeks holiday pay and as soon as that goes in im going to put away whatever i need to make it upto £1k. A good starting point for 2010Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.

Congrats everyone who has reached, or is on the way to reaching their goal. I've just hit my first goal of 20k! Not bad considering 3 years ago I had 7K's worth of debt.
I now have 7k in savings, and 13k in shares (Initial investment 5k) with it looking to skyrocket next year if things go well.

I have noticed not many people update their savings this month.... It does look like Christmas is coming.....

Natwest have just overhauled their online banking site and I'm loving the new savings Goal feature.
Every time I see it say "You won't achieve your goal" it annoys me and I transfer some more money over.Save save save!!0 -
