  • Me please! Can I have number 39 again. I managed to disappear off the thread mid-way through last year due to a change in financial goals. All back to normal now though and aiming for £2,420 OP for 2019 please.

    Huge kudos for those who manage this and other threads for the greater good - I really do appreciate all the effort.
