  • Hi SF, Thanks for the new thread. Please sign me up for 2019 for £40k please. Thanks
  • I have been working some overtime the last few weeks. We have a rebate coming next month and we are also looking at putting in a claim for PPI which will all go into savings :)
    I have a few weeks off work coming up and during this time I shall be filling up the freezer, making a plan for some matched betting, starting an etsy page and sorting out next years budget.

  • Hi

    Just completed 2018 challenge & am looking forward to 2019! I'm going to start off with €8k please as I'm not sure yet what way we will restructure our finances once our pcp agreement on our car is paid off early next year. Hopefully i will be able to increase that.
    Thanks so much for all your hard work in updating the information!

    12k sounds good for me!
  • What a great idea - please can I join in too?! £12k will be quite a stretch for me/us, but I'm going to aim high and opt for that as our goal.

    Can I be super cheeky and ask if I can be number 99 (according to the spreadsheet it looks like that number is still available)? I'm also on the mortgage free wannabe 2019 challenge and am number 99 on there, so if I can be the same number on both it would help my little brain :)

    See you all in 2019 to get started!
    MFW2023 challenge #99: £1090.11 / £1,000 MFiT-T6 (Jan 2022 - Jan 2025) challenge #99: Reduce mortgage to £400,000. Current balance = £413,551.19 Initial MF date (23rd Aug 2022): Sep 2051 Current MF date: Jul 2051 Last updated: 15/06/2023
  • Hi everyone. I did this a few years ago and then drifted into bad habits:o. Hoping to get back on track in 2019 so please could you put me down for 30k... it will be a huge stretch but I’ve already started cutting back (inspired by some of the NSD and take your lunch to work threads :T). I need to make up for not really saving anything over the last year and a half. Here goes... Good luck everyone and thank you Slowlyfading for organising.
