    thought my eyes were playing up when I saw 2012 in the thread title. The past year has just disappeared :eek:

    Thanks to OM and the team who have stepped up to the plate to help run the challenge this year.

    I'm coming back for my second year. will be strange having a new number, I'd grown used to the old one. Not sure I want to wait until the figures get into the 200s though!

    my 2012 target is going to be £1500 again. It's a drop in the ocean compared to some, but we will never be in the position where we can afford several hundreds on OPs each month. For us this is very much a marathon not a sprint. And as we're only 14 months into a (supposedly) 25 year mortgage, we're barely out of the starting blocks. Every little helps as Mr T would say!

    One of the things I like most about this thread is the wide range of people and goals on it. Welcome back :) :T

    A new year, a new challenge!!! My target for next year will be £13000. Can I take number 26, please?

    OM and the team, thank you for setting up a new challenge. The banks will hate us :)
  • Hi,

    Any chance I can cybersquat challenger #29 ? :D

    Can't see this challenge not getting past #29 and I was also #29 in the 2009 and 2010 challenges.

    As for a target, I've a few issues to deal with before I can come up with a 2012 target, but I'll try and get one in before the end of the year.
