The 'Save £12k in 2012' thread!

Looks like my car will be costing less than I thought so just transferred the extra over. Also found £40 in my bag so that was a nice surprise.

I've almost filled my ISA so I need to figure out where to put the rest of my savings until April.

Well i am about 10.66%(£1,600) the way through my target of £15,000 for the year. Aim is up above 33.33%(£5,000) by the middle of March...while still debt busting. Will need to find a good leveller between the 2.

Hi all,
I'm having another frustrating day off work due to ill health so adding up my figures so far! £100 transferred to First Home Saver + £130 (so far) ready to go to First Direct regular saver. Will update my sig.

I'm going to have 2-3 weeks off work starting 23rd of Jan to recover from an operation which means I will not earn any overtime for those weeks. However while being house-bound I won't be able to spend anything and won't be driving so it might make up for any money I lose. I expect I'll be checking this site a lot during that time off to help avoid internet shopping!

Looking forward to a healthy and frugal year ahead!

Hi all,

Great idea.

Never posted on here but saving money in 2012 is a key goal of mine.

Never had time to read all 37 pages of this thread just yet but would be keen to join if there is still room!

Here's to £12k for 2012!!

Good luck everyone! :j:j

Just to confirm for you, that does work! I was housebound recovering from an op over Christmas and New Year and I didn't spend even a penny, hence the reason I managed to put a bit away to my holiday fund (not included in my £5k target as I will use it before the end of the year). Good luck for your op. Thinking quick healing thoughts for you
