Can I join please? I've been watching the thread and already do quite a few of the things listed but I think this challenge would seriously keep me on track!!!!!

Thank you!

Can I join please? One of my challenges next year though is to buy all the groceries locally or from online ethical companies (I don't have a garden or a suitable windowsill, otherwise I would love to grow what I can myself). So I will probably be spending more than I would be if I was yellow stickering, but my ultimate goal is to figure out how to live ethically within my means, so I'm okay with that.

Hello everyone, I would like to join in if I may, I have given myself a date of Jan 2015 to be debt free by and I reckon the best way of doing this is to embrace a frugal lifestyle, from food to clothes so I will work out a household budget between now and Jan 1st and post it later, I will have to work out yearly bills etc and see how I can manage on less.

So here's to being frugal.

I am signing up to 2014 - didn't do to badly during 2013 until last few months!!!


Determined to save to go on the trip of a lifetime in 2015 to see my grandchildren in NZ. Therefore I'm reading all the different challenges as well!!!


Here's to a truly MSE 2014 everyone. x

I'm going to sign up for this challenge. I'm not in debt but I'm saving for a house deposit, after years of living in flats I would like a detached house and that's going to cost me.

It's not so much that I spend money, more that I tend to haemorrhage it.

Yes please I would like to join, to help with my plans for early retirement.

I would like to join in with this challenge. I have a debt free date of 2017 if I take out a loan to pay off my long term loan.

I am saving up instead to pay it off as soon as I can and will be cutting back in 2014 to scrape more money into my savings account for this. I am also starting a new lower paid job, which I'm looking forward to, although this will bring its own challenge.

Good luck everyone!

Count me in please! Having spent 2013 sorting out my career (well, giving up one I hated and starting a new one which I don't anyway) I now need to spend 2014 paying off my debt and building up some savings. The links look like a great place to start......
