    Yes please :)

    Target is £20k


    Some more planning today, and would like to change this to a target of £30,000 please - a stretch, but hope to be sub-£25k at the end of 2019 with a goal of being MF in 2020. :D

    I've amended it. And MF in 2020 is a fantastic goal - the end is in sight! :)

    Hi Wish, that's really helpful, thank you. :) I've given you #59 now, hope that works for you.

    That's lovely thank you. I shall go and update my poor neglected signature.
    Thank you for offering to run this. It has really motivated me in 2018.
    My combined mortgage overpayments, money put in savings & capital expenditure on the house (new windows, plastering etc) come to more than my basic, annual salary.

    Wish.

    It's a pleasure, honestly. It's been hugely motivating for me this year as well, and I thought I might as well use all the time I spend on this forum a bit more productively :rotfl:
