    Thanks Slowlyfading for putting up this thread early. I've been waiting in the wings and I'm glad I've got a whole month to plan on how I will ambitiously save 12k in 2015. Please sign me up, thanks!

    Hi,

    Please could I join? I went off the rails last year and built up a whopping 6K debt :cry:

    So I'd like to aim for £2,000 for 2015. There's no shame in starting fresh (for the 2nd time) and being MSE :money:

    Thank you!

    Can I join up please?

    I'd like to save £6k by August - We're potentially moving house next autumn but won't find out until spring. If we're not moving I'm going to use the savings to pay off the mortgage. I'm more of a mortgage overpayer than a saver so this is a new thing for me - excited to get going! (I have a cheeky £50 stashed somewhere to start me off on Jan 1st, ha).

    Hello all,

    Thanks Slowlyfading for organising this for all of us, it's really appreciated. I'd like to join in again this year but I'd like to go for £15,000 this time.

    Can you sign me up please? Loving some of the targets other people are setting themselves. I am feeling inspired to 'up my game' a bit and see if I can hit this new target. Let the games begin...

    SF there is "042. Alarae - £3,5000" on the front page, is that a 35k goal or a 3.5k goal and added to many zeros?

    I was just being vigilant and wanted to see how much we had signed up and what could be our collective goal....
    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
