  • Put me down for £7000 please. Looking to clear my last debt next month and start saving for the first time in my life.
  • #92. Another £20 in the pot now standing orders have gone through. I probably won't be able to put any more in until mid month while I've got the CC to pay off. I'm trying really hard not to spend unless necessary and so far doing ok. Hopefully the last week of holidays won't be too costly.

    £42/£2000 2.1%:j
    TOTAL DEBT £12,212.46/£2000 paid off
    Debt Free Goal September 2017
    #106 Emergency Fund £482.53/£1000

    Hold your horses Mrs Toast, 2014 doesn't start until tomorrow :)
  • Lomcevak, DH got paid on 19th December for January's pay :). If I don't put it away now I won't have saved any in January.

    Don't knock enthusiasm :D

    Just a quick thing about updates - please can you wait til the month end to declare your final number of savings for the month? You can put as many posts on the thread about your various savings :D but then when it's the end of the month, I just need one number :D

    That way, it doesn't get too complicated and confusing ;)
