Hi Slowlyfading,
Thank you for choosing to run this again.
Currently No55 on the 2015 version.
I would also like to join for 2016 as 2016 will definitely be a challenging year financially. Please put me down for a £6000 target.No. 5 in the 'Save 12k for 2021' thread.
£4250/£120000 -
Hi SF can I join again please?
I'd like to go for £6000 this time as I am going to have a slight drop in income next year due to my Mum having paid back everything she owes me, so no monthly income from that!
