Hi,

Welcome Eskimo's Donger!

You are doing really well saving that much a month, good luck with your target. :beer:

Thanks man

The only problem is, with the money I have in the bank it's tempting to buy everything on my wishlist (apart from the house and the porsche!)

The good news is I get a holiday bonus in June so I should be able to satisfy my new-toy-cravings then :rotfl:

Hi
Anyone here do stocks and shares investor ISA???

Yes I started my Stocks and shares ISA this time last year with a managed fund called "Investco perpetual high income fund". Only put a grand in it, but its done very well in just a single year and is currently worth £1150 quid 15% in one year, try getting that on a cash isa Its fun for a small amount of your savings and the potential gains are nice, but remember it can go down.

I use selftrade to buy the funds as it gives you a discount on any fees. If you do sign up don't forget the £50 recommend a friend bonus which I stupidly forgot to apply for.

Hi,

I like gadgets/toys too!! I would love a plasma or lcd tv but am resisting the temptation at the moment! I've also filled my 30gb mp3 player and want a 60gb or 80gb!! Oh well some things are more important at the moment

I have completed my savings for March (I save in the middle off the month; before payday!)

I have saved 19.43% of my net yearly income so far.

Me and the bf have £13,810 for a house deposit. Hoping to have £16,000 next month.

How is everyone else doing this month?
