The 'Save £12k in 2012' thread!

Really great totals coming in!

I've been informed of a £600 bonus from work so that will be a nice addition to February's total (after all the tax!) Also just sold two items on ebay at the prices I want (after a few times relisted!!) so am getting the Ebay bug again!

I'm afraid that due to some unexpected circumstances, I will not be able to participate in this challenge. Good luck to all the savers, and hopefully I can join you next year.

No 55 - Didnt think I'd had a great january, but my savings have increased by £1250 from the 1st of Jan to today.
I do have a £550 credit card bill to pay in Feb, but I'll remove that from next months total, and it does include £350 for my annual gym membership so hopefully future bills will be a bit lower. I've also been running down cash I received for xmas instead of using the cashpoint so, I think I have a chance of making the £12K, but its not going to be easy!

OMG i didnt realize how addictive this money saving malarky is. Its all i think about and Im definately being alot wiser than I was with money.

Although ive reduced my total to £6k for the year im really hoping to hit alot higher. I changed it to make it more realistic for me as I get de motivated too easily if i set myself up too high. £12k is probably do-able but doesnt allow us much of a life which isnt good as we need a healthy work-play ratio.

Im really happy with my target of £500 last month as we've had alot on including hubbies bday and car tax so not bad going.

Hoping to put away £1k in Feb wohoooooooooooo

Keep going everyone

PS everyone on this thread is making me wana keep saving so much (Im competitive, hehe)

The interest on my current account came in today so I transferred over the massive £2.52 interest I had this month.

Hello folks! I can see that everyone has been doing really well this month!

Right so my January update!

£250.00 Into regular Saver No.2
£510.00 Into my online Saver No. 1
£282.33 Into my online Saver No. 2

I'm really shocked and pleased that I managed to save that much this month! Whooo hoooo!

BUT February may be a bit of a struggle, got alot going on in Feb and things like house insurance are due! But we all just have to keep throwing the pennies in the pot dont we!

Best of luck to everyone for their February totals! x
