Last ditch attempt to save: put my £22.26 cashback payment into the ISA making it: £3377.26:)

I just moved roughly a fiver from our joint account to make that into a nice round number and up my ISA ever so slightly; every little helps, right? :rotfl:

every little really does help i'll have my normal £50 in in the morning, i don't think i'll be sending anymore than my £50 on a monday now til new year because hubby still needs to go pressie shopping and i like to have a really good buffer when he's off just incase, i start panicing if were in our overdraft and i have a no rule it's the no pinching money from the savings rule

quintwins

after saying i wasn't gonna save any extra i checked my bank this morning and there was £700 so i but £373 in my savings plus the £50 from this morning, this still leaves a good buffer of £375 and we have another payday and tax credits day before santa comes

Another £500 to go in today but I'm also trying to save an emergency fund (first goal £2000) Have no idea how I'm going to split my disposable income between the two funds, or if indeed I should concentrate my efforts into the house fund only. Anyway that's up to 3k, yay

me again

hubby was paid today as an early payment for this friday, i sent it all plus a few pence to the savings as we sold a laptop yesterday so i have plenty of cash to last us til the new year.

i'm really surprised at how well i'm getting on now not far off £2k

Soooo.... I managed to save £888 in December... bringing my end-of-year total to £54,342! I didn't quite hit the £55,000 target but I did ok - just £658 short! :beer:

Just edited my end-of-year sig

Well done to all! I too am aiming to save £12,000 in 2012 - watch this space!!!

well done tara you nearly hit your target were aiming for £8000 in 2012 but we're hoping with house prices so low here at the mo we can buy after next xmas with what we have now and what we save next year fingers crossed

merry christmas to you all and i'll see you all in the new year
