I had a million pound target party the other night... (Indian takeaway and afew drinks)... glad everyone turned up! ;-)

when you reach your target - how are you going to celebrate? (apart from have a massive Christmas meal)...

Sooooo impatient for payday now! Just two more to go for 2014.

slowlyfading - put me down for £12,000 again for 2015

I was just reflecting on how crap interest rates are - it's to our credit that we're saving so much with so little incentive.

At 5% interest, I would have earned over £4,000 in interest this year.

At present, I'm on track to earn about £2,400 in interest, which isn't bad (for very little effort - just standing orders to move money between accounts), but it's annoying that rates are so low.

Lovely to see people posting their targets for 2015. SF please put me down for £10k.

It is quite unlikely that I will make this amount (depending on the job front next year) but I want to aim high and challenge myself. If a regular paying job does come around then I can always chnage it to higher.

Hello,

I'd like to join this please! My gf and I have just paid off our mortgage! (Hurrah!) But now I need to get my emergency fund back up to speed, and I have increased my contribution to my monthly investments. Ideally I would go for the £12k but we are thinking of buying a campervan in the spring, so I will say £8k for now.

I'm also decluttering my house and selling stuff I don't need to supplement my "pocket money", so this could contribute a bit more!

slowlyfading can you put me down for £5000 in 2015 please?

I'm not sure if I will make it, but aim high and all that. We have all done so well this year, it's fantastic!

I love the fact that people are already joining up for 2015 before the thread goes "live" - please will you post them in there as well when the time comes? I don't want to miss anyone out

Nearly £600 put away this month, with thanks to a little £100 scratchcard win

Great milestones for me this month!

I've just paid of my mortgage from my "Save a pound a day" tin, and hit my annual saving target a month early.

Out tonight to celebrate my mortgage-free status with a posh meal and a bottle of champers. It's been a long while coming, so tonight is not the night for saving! :j :beer: :j

PS Sorry for all the dizzying emoticons, but today is one of those days when they are deserved! (:D )
