    Never too late to join! I can add you if you let us know your target for this year :)

    Thanks :D I am going to go over my budget and think about how much I can increase my OPs....will let you know. I think I can do more than the £6500 I was aiming for but I need to build an emergency fund again.

    It's very motivating to see everyone else making so much progress.:T

    Might be too long ang4k? Can't think of any other reason, try messing with font sizes/ merging or fewer lines - that is all I can think of, off the top of my head...

    it is character limited so too long could well be the case or clicking 'preview' rather than 'save' signature.
