Sign me up!
If all goes well I'm in a job until the start of August when I'll probably take a couple of months to do no work whatsoever before looking for another job at that point. So earning over 10 months instead of 12 means it might be harder to hit my target, but I'll set it the same as before at £15,000 since I managed to exceed it last year.
Among all this there is the possibility of buying a house and/or car, so we'll see how that goes.
Good luck all 0 -

Slowlyfading will be along in a while and add you to the list in post 1, then you post your money updates using the update link, and she maintains the googledoc of everyone's progress, month by month. She likes you to put your challenger number in your signature (she will allocate it) so she can keep up without being on here all the time.
HTH - Good luck!
