A tiny, teeny, weeny OP of £2.23 this morning to start me off for January.
All other OPs will be towards the middle of the month but for now I couldn't not let an odd number like that sit there so rounded off to 00.
Back with another update in a few weeks.
Happy New Year to you all.

Hi Stimson, welcome to the challenge! You've got #129flyingmamma wrote: »Hi can I please join I’ve been away from the site for a while but would like to set a goal of £12000 for this year and get back on track . Thanks
Hi flyingmamma, welcome back! You're #130 for this yearNewMoneySaver13 wrote: »Hi Julicorn.
I would like to continue where I left off from 2018 and take part in the 2019 challenge.
Can you set my target for this year as £3600.
If the number 12 hasn't already been claimed is there any chance of having that? Failing that I am happy to stick with number 86 for this year.
Thanks
Hi NewMoneySaver! Thanks for letting me know your target. I'm still holding the old numbers until the end of January in case someone wants to re-join by then, but there's every chance #12 will be available early February - could you maybe check back in then? Up until then, we'll keep your number as 86 if that's ok.0 -
Thanks Julicorn,
Spreadsheet is great.. thanks for organising!!

My (rather ambitious) goal is £30k saved into our offset account by the end of 2019. It’s going to take some discipline so hopefully this will keep me on track!
Thanks
Hi there, and welcome to the challenge! You've got #131 now0
