    Oh, Yes please.

    My old number would be good, No 27 but don't mind any number.


    I'm in for £5000 at the start, and lets see how that goes, got a few plans in mind, so really stretching myself here.


    Many thanks, as it really keeps me motivated.
    Always have 00.00 at the end of your mortgage and one day it will all be 0's :dance:

    Hi schoolworker here would love to keep my number if 72 if possible for 2018 challenge. I will set myself a goal of £2500 and will see if I can get this as not sure what our increased costs are after building an extension this year and still spending money.
