The "Save 12k in 2015' Thread!

Prudent

Well done Jason, that is a great turn around.westie where did you find the other challenges? I would like to have a go at the Christmas one if it isn't too late to join.

Thanks Prudent I should add they took 43 days to close the account even after they had been booted off and the other supplier had taken over, and then they told me they would take up to a further 10 working days to issue the refund!!!

We switched away from SP and had to chase them every few days for something like 6 *months*! The only way we got the £700 or so that they owed us back was by bombarding their social media presences with complaints and warnings and threatening to go to the ombudsman. We were 3? days away from the date by which the ombudsman would have stepped in when they settled up. Total shower.

Now with Good Energy, who are lovely, if a bit dearer. Luckily small home improvements like loft insulation and draught exclusion mean that, even though our supplier is dearer, we're still better off overall (and Good Energy appealed to my green side :beer:)

Question - As you can see I am participating in a few challenges, I have separated this 12k challenge from the others, but just wondered if I get towards the end of the year can I add anything I have saved in the other challenges!!!

So what I have saved in £1 and £2 coins can this be added to my 10k target?

let me know if this is possible :-)

Hello Westie, this is a very free and easy forum, there are no rules as such. Count how you think you should.

Personally I don't count my "Pound a day for Christmas" money, nor money in my various car/dentist/household pots as I know they are to be spent at some stage. But if I'd made actual real savings from another challenge, it seems reasonable to count them here.

Well Done Jason Bourne


The decision taken----to move from debt to saving is a life changer.


Debt Free Roll of Honour is my fav thread

Just submitted my April total of £270. Hope I can repeat (or beat) that figure in May but am not going to get my hopes up just yet!

There are no fast rules, so if you want to count them, then feel free

I have added £250 to savings, I have updated sig. Hope everyone is well. SlowlyFading, a bit of a silly request really, but if #33 is not being used, and its not too much trouble, could I have it (pretty please). #3 is my lucky number. Thanks.

Not a problem - done
