    Testing testing...


    Hopefully added my progress to my signature, which should all but guarantee success....


    Edit: Boom it worked.


    I'll be following the rule that only money saved into savings accounts will be counted (i.e.: and not debt repayment; mortgage overpayment nor pension contributions, AVC or otherwise).


    In theory, much of my saving will come in the second half of the year, so comfortable-ish with a slow start to this challenge, but resolutely sticking to my £6k target.
  • Hey slowlyfading,

    Could I join this challenge please. Id like to aim 6k.

    Happy new year everyone! Let's get saving 😀
  • Im In!!

    £7k please.
  • Hello slowlyfading,

    Thank you for organising the challenge in 2017; I have been very motivated to save decent amounts of money in the past two years, thanks to this thread. Please put me down for £7,000 again in 2018. Cheers.
