    So that 53 of us hoping to make over £105,00 between us, please let me know if I have missed anyone off.

    I say we start on Jan 1st, so we dont start counting between now and then, Please send me a message at the end of each month with your total so I can update the first post, but please post regularley to help motivate other challengers.

    I doty think it matters if you have the £2012 saved at the end of the challenge or if it has gotten swallowed up in day to day living.

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE and the more the merrier!!!:beer:

  • I've just applied to open a saving acc with Santander just for all these savings to go into. If anyone is interested, it pays 3.1% for the 1st 12mths and minimum investment is £1, this is the best rate I've found for an unlimited withdrawal/deposits instant access short term savings account.
    Each month, when I give my totals on here I will transfer that amount to this account.
  • Right, can you add me to the list too please? This year is already set out to be a slightly crazy and busy one but I could definitely do with the money (and extra motivation) so let's do this :)
