Can you add me too? I tried doing something similar on my own and failed miserably

hi guys

can i join please, aiming for £12,000

anyone got ideas on how they are going to do it?

will give me a couple of months to get myself straight before I get going! as i seem to pay bills etc with any money i seem to make

go for it guys and gals!

I already save £550/month straight out of my salary (standing order to regular savers). Until recently I couldn't improve on that because I had the household bills on my own. They're now shared which gives me the opportunity to save more, if not the motivation!

I joined the £10 / day challenge for November and that's really helped motivate me not to splurge now that I've got some extra spare cash. I reckon joining each monthly challenge to make up the shortfall to the £1k each month is how I will manage not to fall off the waggon and into Boden/Next/Reiss/John Lewis/M&S/Karen Millen.

Morning all
Help:- Is there a thread on here somewhere about selling on ebay. I have never done it (although I have bought, but only twice, and have a paypal A/C) I don't know how to get started. Don't know the first thing about what you have to do. I think in many ways I'm a bit scared of making a hash of it. My mobile phone doesn't take photos - sad, but I'm of a generation that thinks a microwave oven is a new fangled object - very sad.

Hi

I'd like to join please. I'm currently doing the £11k in 2011 challenge and it's been very useful.

Thanks

Not sure how I'm going to achieve it either and I'm not sure how much of the 12k will get spent along the way due to the wedding but initial thinking in that I will continue my regular saver of £50 per month for the whole of 2012 (matures in March but will start new one straight away) so thats £3000. Myself and Mrs MM currently pay £300 each into the wedding fund, if we can up this to £350 each per month then thats £11400 over the 12 months. Should be able to rustle up an extra £600 over the year not to mention the interest we will be earning!

There is a thread somewhere, sorry, I don't have time to look for it just now but I think it will be somewhere within the "Up Your Income" boards. Have a wee look there.

Hi there I would love to join you please can you add me- I'm not sure how much I am going to manage but have a £60,000 extension to save for so I need some inspiration and it might keep me focused (please put me down for £12,000 not £60,000 as I may fail with the latter;)). I might get on excel now and plan it out

Hi All

Count me in for the full £12,000 please. Mind going into overdrive with all the possible ways to do this. Will post some ideas tomorrow. Very excited to get started - signature updated already! :j

Thanks!

Can't do the full whack, wish I could do half but am going to aim for £4000. Only being realistic.
