Hello,
Would I possibly be able to join? I aim to have £1000 by this time next year due to being on a maternity contract. Currently I'm looking for something permanent, so this target could fluctuate because of that (upwards rather than downwards if i get something permanent with a better wage) but ill start off with that aim

Thank you for my number! I currently have £518 of the £1000 saved, however I'll need to use it for Tax and Insurance, so it will definitely go down a little!Mortgage Feb 2023- £249,210 MFW 2023 #20: £524.05/£500 (104.81%)0
