The 5k challenge!!!

MoneyHungry

Hi there, perfect for me this is. This is going to be my car deposit fund. 5k would be a great total. I was already aiming for 5k by 5/5/2014, which is my 21st. I can only max the regular saver out at 250 per month, so I will continue to save this along with putting money into my ISA.
I will update this monthly, but I will keep this separate from my house saving which is my ISA money.

Good luck and keep going x

Hi everyone was hoping for a NSD yesterday but there was a bit of a bug going around the offices so ended up buying juice because I was feeling shaky so 70p later....

Hoping for a NSD today, happy Friday everyone.

A mixed of news money wise. No NSD yesterday or today. Had my contact lens check which was free and brought eye drops (in Superdrug cheaper than the Opticians )

I won £20 on a scratchcard :j so transfered £10 to the ISA.

Brought 2 lotto tickets and treated myself to a Starbucks

I got a free sample of Vanish through the post today too!

Hi GRC, MoneyHungry, Lula and anyone else I've missed!

The €5k thread is growing!
Another €60 in the pot, along with debts reducing a bit more.
I have found the past fortnight difficult, and am struggling to focus on my budget....need to improve!
Hope you are all going well!

Hi all, I got some good news on the money front. I got an (unexpected) bonus, so thats Xmas so sorted :j

Now I can focus on the challenge in hand, however I have £30 to last me till the end of the month :eek:

I can't think how this has happened and I hope to get a spending diary underway.

I am also looking into reducing the bills especially the electric bill but OH seems to be filling his time by job hunting and playing computer games so I think we need to reduce it.

Food wise we are underspending so next month I should be able to pay less in.
