    Hi SF,

    Can you put me down for 12k for this year, also If possible can I have a higher number so I dont have to scroll too far down the spreadsheet, my laptop is very slow with this function.

    Hi SF

    Can you put me down for 2016 with a target of £2000. Reached my target of £1000 for 2015 and have now paid off my credit card, so no debts apart from the mortgage.

    If there are any higher numbers can I change my number? :)
    Thanks DL

    Hi slowlyfading


    Please can I join for 2016?


    Not sure of my target yet as we are (hopefully) moving from a flat to a house next year so our monthly bills will increase plus we need to decorate and buy furniture.


    I will let you know target when I get a better idea of how much is left over a month :)
