Don't forget to keep submitting numbers, right up to the last minute!

Personally, I'm not going to meet my target, but anything saved is better than nothing! :jBe who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Thanks slowlyfading for running this thread.
I have just updated for the last 2 paydays as I missed November, I have saved £11,800 so just slightly under my target but really pleased! I have decided to put savings on the back burner for a bit and just enjoy my life now as I have spent the last few years paying off my mortgage etc (see sig) and we need a breather. Its been a journey but glad to have made it and I will always be thrifty now. Good luck everyone for the future!Save £12k in 2012 no.49 £10,250/£12,000

I am not saving anything but will be concentrating on clearing debts first.It's really easy to default to cynicism these days, since you are almost always certain to be right.0

Well usually work my savings spreadsheet in the financial year but with one payday left to go of 2013 (I know reading that I definitely need to get out more!) I've just worked out I've done £ 15,703, so should clear almost £17,000, well over the target for the year, now just have to keep this house search up, so maybe won't be able to set a target for 20140

I keep trying to add up 2013 but small amounts keep turning up; nothing massive, £10 here, £15 there. May be new year before I finally get to add it all together
