Oooooooooooh can I join please????

I would like to go for £8000 as aim to have £4000 in savings by end of this year so that will bring it up to £12k in total.

Big challenge but I am very excited now, I am such a weirdo!

BUT I might be giving up full time work in just under 2 years to study a degree poss 3 if I decide to have a baby break on the way and we need to buy a bigger house too as OH already has 2 kids in our 3 bed house (boy & girl so can't share....).

So yeah need loads of cash!!! Will have to try persuade OH to get involved too. But i wanna do 8k alone, its half my basic wage so will need to do other stuff to earn it!

Think we will have more than 200 by the time this starts. And late January after everyone gets paid people will be joining.

I posted this at the end of may this year whilst i was earning 8k per year

Just added £155 to the fund. Now stands at £6480.

Cant wait to set new targets for next year after i smash this years target.

Now im earning 23.5k and ive lost money, how bad is that, havent got much to show for it right enough, thats whats making me even more determind. My target was 9k by xmas, no way now. Might reach 7k.

Stand by my 15k challenge by next xmas, il be 19 and a half then so half decent.

Keep it going guys, even though its a slog
