The "Save 12k in 2016" Thread!

Hi, I'd like to sign up for 2017 please? I aim for £1k per month in 2017. 2016 was good for me as I'll be at £9k total by end of 2016. Hoping to go into 2018 with a total of £21k for my house deposit.

So 2017 £12k! Really excited to read everyone's journey.

Thank you.

Hi all, reporting a healthy £1305.71 saved for November. This could be my last positive figure as I have just had an offer accepted on a house (yay!) which I will be ploughing the entire amount that I have managed to scrape together over the last eight years. Perhaps I will be able to report one last time at the end of December to finish the challenge!

£450 saved this month. November, December & January are always the toughest months for me, as I'm sure they are for everyone.

Declaring £403.53 for November. This month we have moved house and celebrated my partners 40th with several parties etc so I'm pleased with that! A good December and I should hit the target. Which will mean £12k saved in two years!!! Can't believe it

I'd like to join for 2017 too- I attempted it in 2013 and did quite well but not sure if I updated!

2017 I will update regularly alongside my mortgage overpayments

Can you put me down for £3000

Nope, slowlyfading already said: "You are more than welcome to set your own target! Next year's thread will be up in the next week or so, so feel free to join us when it does. The more the merrier!"

You'll need to sign up by posting in the 2017 thread once it has been created.

We're not signing up for the new thread yet - it doesn't exist!

If you want to join up for next year, the thread will be up by the weekend. If you post on there, you'll be added.

Thanks!

Hi Slowly, I know I seem to have fallen off recently, I posted nothing for October (big bills for car servicing and brakes, not a problem as the dear old ancient 4x4 has been paid for for a very long time). I'm just bringing in expenses outlay before posting for November,will post shortly.

Only made my target due to an absolute windfall, so reining in for next year to £12,000 please. Next year (December 2017) will be our ruby wedding, the first one in our family for more than 50 years due to bereavement and divorce and being a really small family. We are planning a blow out cruise now, to see the Northern Lights, something my husband has never seen and I haven't seen since I was a girl. So my savings next year, rather than being for investment, will be for that trip! Although hopefully it won't cost 12k!
