Please add me for £4,000, aiming to have a deposit for a house in late 2017 so this will help spur me on!
Cheers!

Hi Everyone

Just registered on the forum today and planning on saving next year so can I join in with your challenge ? Please put me down for £24,000 this will be a stretch as who knows what can come along during the year but I am hopeful I can make it and it's good to have something to work towards.

Once I get my number I will update the form and signature.

Ah just missed out on update! I'm up to £9500 for this year and December pay pack should see me meet my target! Blooded, sweat and tears to get to this point but very happy!:T

Can you also put me down for £5000 for next year. Much lower target as next year will be a big spending year. No point in saving if u can't spend it in the end tho!

Many thanks SF for running this all year and taking it on next year!

Please can I join with a target of £3000.

I will be including all long term savings so my savings account, s and s ISA and my funding circle total.

Many thanks

In other words, net increase/decrease each month rather than any defined separate savings.

Same with me - net increase.

I think the net increase/decrease is more accurate representation of you overall savings compared to outflow. Gives an idea of what's you overall networth as well. I think this is the method i shall use.
