    Please add me. I'll go for £6k again this year. New house and bigger mortgage means it might be more difficult otherwise I'd have tried for a bit more!

    I'm in too! Have run the figures, compiled a budget-of-sorts and want to set myself a "stretch" savings target of £5,000. To get there I am going to have to be tough on my weaknesses, the two C's of clothes and coffee.

    This excludes pension contributions and mortgage over payments, both of which I have also separately increased...2017 is going to be serious on all money-saving fronts!

    Please can I join again? I will try for £11,000 in 2017. I don't mind what number I am (I was 92 in 2016 as a very latecomer to the party).

    Thanks Slowlyfading - brilliant job, as always!

    Please can I join... I'm aiming to save £4500 this year, which will be tight, but hopefully achievable.

    Also, can anyone tell me how much I should have in my emergency cash stash? Thank you
