    It sounds really scary when you put it like that Rictus.... I am breaking my down into less scary £250 amounts (regular savers limits) and yes my ISA is already full for this year - Roll on April tho when I will be hunting down the best ISA rate like a mad crazy woman!:o
  • i'm new to the forum, so don't really know what i'm doing... without sounding like i am thick with an F... can somebody tell me how i add a signature? i'd like to add my total for the challenge when it starts to display my total saved. thank you in advance for any help.
    £254/£12,000 challenge... Only £11,746 to go! Wish me luck! :|
  • I feel really inspired by everyone's enthusiasm :j
    £12K will be a real mission for me and am laying awake at night (in a good way) trying to figure out how I'm going to do it! I don't think people I know in the 'real world' would think I was anything but crazy trying. Looking forward to 1/1/12 and supporting everyone in this challenge

    xx

    i agree with you! i feel like a right prat to put it in a ladylike way at the thought of trying to saving so much. i feel almost stupid because it's so so far away from what we can actually save and i just feel if people in 'the real world' knew what i was wanting to do that they'd just laugh and think i was a bit loopy haha. x
