Huge Project Savings!

Anyone have a huge expensive thing they need to start saving for? I have double glazing to pay for we had a quote for £3580 so I am aiming for £4000 seeing as it will take me ages and costs knowing my luck will rise!

Anyone want to come along? Of course if I win the lottery I will be dropping out ;)

  • Hi Rayday,

    I have nothing as such yet but if I do I most def will join! Good luck in saving for the double glazing - I am sure you will do it!xx
  • hi RayDay... I'll Join if that's okay? I have a massive trip to New Zealand next year for 2 weddings and need to save for flights and the trip itself.

    Not sure how much I'll need, but I'm going to aim for £1000.00 by January.
    OMG... I SO don't know how I'm going to do that!

  • I need to save to move house. We are renting a tiny 2 bed terrace and have 3 children, lol, so we are cramped. We will need about £1200 for month's rent and bond upfront, plus removal costs, plus money for fridge, cooker, sofas, dining table as those items belong to current landlady. We are waiting until we have paid off our debts to move though, so have time to save.

    Yes anyone can hop along - £1000 in that time is certainly a challenge!
