The 'Save 12k in 2014' Thread!

LondonGirl252

I've had a few very slow saving months, I moved jobs recently with a month off in between so was without a salary for a month and to top it off the new place underpaid me this month so I can't save yet.


I won't make my £6k target that is for sure but will just save as much as I can and next year will be a fresh start!

I thought I'd get in early for a change with my update - £540 for the month.

I see we already have lots of lovely scores on the doors. Well done everyone :T

Just calculated that I need to save £3,830 in the next 3 months to make it to £12,000 this year. I can't see it happening! But I will save as much as I can...

Tara I can totally see it happening! You will only be just short of your December 2014 target if you don't. You can do it girl!!! Can you sell a kidney or something?? I am desperate for you to hit this target!



#077 declaring £163.36 for September. The £100 incentive from the new bank is due by 11th Oct. I was hoping they would put it in this month (First Direct were really quick at putting theirs in) but sadly, no. It will be included in next month's declaration though

sparrer

Sept brought a lot of expense (car, vet bills), so there are no savings to add for member 070 sparrer. Hopefully October will bring a small windfall which will make up for the horrendous month just ending.

It was a 1ct diamond solitaire pendant, Tara. The jeweller said (well he would, wouldn't he ) that secondhand jewellery is a good buy - no supply chain each taking a profit, no VAT, no "sentimental" premium, and sold at just a bit more than scrap value. And I can always flog it again in the future!

Wow, I'm sure it's lovely! Good for you

:rotfl: I'll do my best! You've really spurred me on with that little pep talk, thank you. And well done on your September savings, I'm sure you're looking forward to that £100 next month.

And I'm declaring...nil again.

As predicted last month, September has max'd out the old finances at the geoffers household; both boys safely installed at Uni... but neither has got their student loan through yet so things are a bit tight. Also had the house insurance to renew this month, as well as getting someone in to clear some small trees/large shrubs that were threatening to take over the garden.

All being well, should be back on track next month. I hope!

Happy saving everyone.
