    Good idea EH! That's what I'll be :D

    And the savings target IS a bit steep - but I wanted to get into the habit of saving it all before I'd got used to having a full time wage and spending it all, otherwise I'd have no chance! :rotfl:

    Excellent name! And Cheery, what an amazing target - at 20% already, I'm sure you'll make it.

    Here's to picnics in London - did you sit in an office or take it out to a green square?
