The 'Save 12k in 2013' Thread!

I've added £630 this morning, however i pinched some last week when i decided to go cash only and i lent a friend some money and i sent my sister some shopping so that just brings my general total up to where it was, still a step in the right direction

How long from opening the account did it take to get the £125?

I opened the account in mid January. The first active date on my statement is 28th January. I received the £125 on 8th March.

Hi everyone, I've been pretty quiet on here but am still up for the challenge.

Have been busy organising a hen weekend for my friend and in true money saving style I've managed to shave £25 off the cost of the hennie which the girls will get back in the goodie bags I've made up... They've all been giving me money every month to save up for it... So I'll give them all back £25 on the day we leave...! Love it when a budget comes together!

So nothing to add to my £10k challenge really but thought I'd share my money saving story anyway!

Hi folks. I am still plodding away with saving each month. Really great to see how well everyone is doing.

I only wish I had started saving properly like this many years ago. Oh well, better late than never. I am starting to wonder what the heck I did with all my money over the years though:eek:

Hi people, how are we all today? £30 to add to the pot for March, cashback from changing energy suppliers....back in November! Had totally forgotten about it and I think it was a tip from MSE :-)

Allie23: I know what you mean! Every year I get my P60 and see how much I've earned in the year and then look at what's in the savings pot......its scary how much you spend on "stuff" once all the bills are paid!

Transferred in £1000 for Feb. Took advantage of some 'deals' on hotdealsuk. I really should stay off that site.

:j Just reached my goal- Emergency pot is back up to £10k now. This is partly because I just consolidated an online ISA into my Nationwide Flex ISA so have received a nice little interest sum of £90.94 At least all my money is now in 1 pot earning a nice 4.25%

Now just need to focus on the wedding fund a bit more. Getting there slowly but steadily. Will update March totals on payday which is soon!

Happy Savings Everyone.

Keep pushing forward! I love the daily updates on here. Can't wait to get working and saving. Does anyone know of a good thread to help with making money?! I can't sell my car as I need it for work, I am starting a freelance job on Monday but won't get aid until mid April...I've been selling some bits on EB*Y but have kind of lost the way with money making ideas.

You lot are fab with all your savings and thank you SF for this thread. :j

Make £10 a day challenge is a goodun, ive been doing it for nearly 3 years and it's instilled in my mind now!

Come and join us, doesn't have to be £10, can start at £5 a day if it helps
