Still here!:j
As I'm paid monthly, I transfer my funds to savings at the end of each month, so nothing much to report as yet. But I think things are going reasonably well.
Doesn't hurt to 'bump' this thread, hopefully we'll get some new joiners.
Also, I think people's thoughts will turn to savings after Christmas, so we should see some activity then:)Early retired - 18th December 2014

I'm still here as well...nothing much to report though xD
re-jigged my standing order so that money goes into my savings on the 27th of each month, starting from This month (2 weeks!) and I've also changed the amount DOWN to £200 per month...this is until I have finished paying off my credit card and become debt free - which I estimate is end of march/april, then I will up my standing order to £750 per month and will still be on target for my £6k by the end of dec.2014! Hope everyone is doing well! HAPPY FRIDAY
Saved so far - £28,890.97

I'm still here too. I plan on putting the money in to savings at the end of each month starting from January. I may be able to put a little bit away at the end of December but that will be a pleasant surprise if I can. I'm setting up a DD to take the money as soon as I get paid because if I leave it until later then I know it will get swallowed up by other things. I'm also planning on putting it in a savings account with the Halifax that isn't easy to access and therefore I won't be tempted to touch it unless it's a true emergency. I just need to get my daughter's birthday out of the way first and of course Christmas. I'm really excited to start.

Hi, I'd like to join please. My first target is to save £1000 by my birthday in July. I'm retired so on a fixed income and have never managed to save anything much. 2014 is the year this will change!
Thanks LeopardPrintsAndTea... don't throw the string away. You always need string!
