    Count me in again please :) I did it for the first time last year with a modest goal of £1k and overshot that by miles, so put me down for £10k (including pension contributions) :) Last year's thread was so inspirational and it kept me reporting.

    New year, new member, new baby on the way (8th in total! :eek:), new approach to saving.

    I'd like to think I'm already quite frugal but most of the money I save goes on short-term items like new shoes, a computer game, some new tech toy, etc. This year I'm going for a long-term approach and hoping to make my money go a little bit further and work a little bit harder for us and have something more substantial to show for it at the end.

    With that said put me down for £5000 :)

    Please could you put me down for £14000, it will be a challenge, as that's £6000 more than I can see at this point.


    This will consist in about equal parts of an 'Emergency' Fund I would like to have and money I am reserving for overpaying my mortgage at some point in the future (prob a few years away)


    Will be counting only money I actually put into long term savings schemes but not pension
