  • Hi, Could I join up please?   I haven't done this for a few years, but I did 3 or 4 of the earlier ones when I was saving for a house deposit.  It really helped me back then, and I am hoping it will give me some focus for the next year, as I take the next step up in life!  My aim is for £12k please - might be a bit ambitious, as the year ahead I think could be a rocky one - but it would be amazing if I do manage it!

    Thanks for adding me in!  I've decided I'm going to count everything I add to savings and investments and what's left over from my salary each month.  Thanks to whoever recommended joining the grocery challenge too to make further savings, sorry can't remember who, but this is an area I need to tackle.  I'm getting quite excited for 1 January!

    I've got a few videos on my YouTube channel about this - I recently did an "Eat For £10 A Week Challenge" which worked well. If you search Nicola @ The Frugal Cottage you should find me :)
