    Lunalady - I feel exactly the same, can't wait for 1st January! I've always preferred New Year to Christmas, I just love the excitement of a fresh start - ooh the possibilities! Have already bought my 2013 diary (from Poundland of course!) and can't wait to start keeping track of spending and saving.

    I have opened up a new savings account (separate from my emergency fund) and it looks so empty and alone).

    I couldn't wait, I went to the bank and opened a brand new account. The bank clerk even commented that I was s bit premature and most surprised I was already thinking about next year.

    So direct debity thing done to come out of my current account on payday, hence $500 now in the new account. :T

    Lunalady I know what you mean but using the opportunity to stock up on things that I will need like clothes!

    Also anything I do now on cashback websites is money in the bank ..... Hopefully!

    Hello :)
    I'd love to join the challenge for next year - I'd like to try for half the main target, so £6000 please.

    I have a question though - some of this savings money will be spend throughout the year, for a summer holiday etc. Can I still declare this at the end of the year or do I physically still have to have the £6000 in the bank in December?
    Sorry for sounding a bit stupid! :o
