    Keeping myself accountable too - I've had to dip into mine for an overstretched garden project. It's only a temporary thing, so borrowing from myself for a couple of weeks to make sure I have enough at the ready.

    post #2 updated with my dipped total now standing at £5450.00 aka 90.83%.

    I will be taking my own advice and keep on keeping on.

    Dobbi :D

    Hi Dobbibill, I would like to join if possible. I was in the challenge last year and got to my goal of £15000 (this is 6 months for us - big mortgage!). However now we have a small rugrat and so her expenses need to be factored in - childcare and swimming lessons are the main ones - so I would love to go back on the list with a new target of £22800. Thank you!

    Hi katsoocam - welcome back :hello:

    Of course you can join. You did brilliantly last year to reach your goal and I'm sure you are just as focused again this year.

    Congrats on the arrival of your rugrat too :D

    New goal and progress added to post #2
    I'm sure you'll be smashing that goal in no time. ;)
