    Talking of this month's declaration, I will be hitting my target this month. I am only around £170 short of it.

    So, should I up my target to £2000 for the last two months?

    Well done! And yes, go for it! :j

    Thank you, I will then :)


    slowlyfading can you update my target to £2,000 please? Would it be easier for you if I put it on the update form when I do my October declaration?

    If I hit £2,000 it means that I will have saved double what my target was at the start of the year! Amazing how things can change in 12 months. I do feel very fortunate as I know that others' situations have changed negatively.

    Come on guys, less than 11 weeks left to go!! :eek::cool::):D

    I know its a bit late in the day but can I join for the last 3 months of this year?

    If so, my target is £600 to reach by the end of the year.

    I will be including my small pension payments, what I stash in my ISA and also the little bit I put into my emergency fund. I won't include any money I put into my savings pots as this will be spent eventually.

    Thanks Slowly :D

    Moved some money over to savings this morning and my small pension payment went out.

    #015 111/600 18.5%

    Maybe a little more to send over to savings before the end of the month but it won't be much. Will declare a proper total on 31st.

    Just updated for September - a little late!

    October will not be so good, and looking at the credit card bill, neither will November :(

    4 days till I can give you my results... been a relatively good month and I am really thinking about saving at the moment because I am desperate to hit my target.
    My Goal: From 1st of Jan 2015 to 31st of December 2015 is to save 30000.

    48.78% towards 2015 target.

    105.3% towards 2014 target. :j
