    Hi, I would love to join again.
    I am going to challenge myself and increase my target on this year. I have an expensive January coming up - house renovations but I there should be nothing stopping me from February on-wards. Once again I will only count medium and long term savings ( not short term e.g Xmas/ birthday/ car bills and £2 coins). Target £9000 please. Thank you, Slowly Fading for running this thread. I don't mind if my number changes.

    Please can you put me down for £5,000 - I'm so surprised how much disposable income I have that disappears every month and 2016 is going to be my year to save!
