    Hi all,

    Long time reader but 1st time poster. This sounds like something I should get my teeth stuck into.

    Going to aim for the £12k by the end of the year!

    Good luck all :beer:

    :hello: and welcome to MSE! :)

    OK,

    I'm getting ready for this.
    I've set up another 'savings pot' on my internet banking, so that I can transfer money in whenever it arrives in my current account, before I spend it.

    I've tried to set up a signature, it appears in my profile, but not on my last post.

    I wonder if it only appears on new posts?
    Let's see...

    Enjoy saving £12,000 and then at the end realising with inflation how much you have actually lost. :rotfl:

    Today £12,000 can buy 10oz of .999 Gold

    I guarentee the time you have finished saving £12,000 it will only buy you 5oz or Less of .999 Gold

    Happy Saving!
