The "Save 12k in 2016" Thread!

I could work for a megacorp like HP but then my perk would be the option of voluntary redundancy every 6 months

Open my savings pot and banked £190 in 50p, £1 & £2 coins :j: Will add to my savings total at the end of June.

Fantastic work as always everyone. All doing so well!

I don't think I declared last month, so declaring two months in one go; total for the year now stands at 47.59% after 5 months. Very happy with that and puts me ahead of my target.

5-week month to survive now.

Only managed £104 in May! Must try a little harder if I want to hit my £5,000 Target.... £4,000 to go! I can do this!

Finally updated after 2 months, £533 in April and £1,600 in May. However a rather large credit card bill will be paid in June so I am not expecting big numbers! Hopefully around the £500 mark!

Hi

Number 65 checking in. Managed a grand total of £350 for May. Not as good as previous months but that's the price I pay for giving up a job that was driving me nuts!:)

Great numbers from everyone ! I'm reporting £2000 for May and really pleased with that as had a few weeks on reduced sick pay during May so managed to cut back and keep to target. Fortunately I was too ill to go out and spend money and it's easy to save when you are confined to bed and feeling like **** Thanks slowlyfading for your kind thoughts when I was ill, i'm not sure how to reply with the persons comments as so many of you do, maybe someone can send on instructions.

Some extra news, come back from working overseas and have a letter telling me I've finally paid off my student loan!

So to celebrate (and because i'm a saving geek) I've set up a new Santander 5% regular saver so the extra money is working as hard as possible straight away.

May update a bit late - just back from holiday!

A big one for me £808.56 That was mainly from some back pay that I wasn't really expecting, so an extra bonus!

I have also just finally paid off my big 10 year loan that has been hanging over my head. Paid off 18 months early! That makes me officially debt free (but no savings apart from this challenge...argh!)
