Welcome aboard Tortoiseshell20 - you are very member #46.

I have added your name, number and target to the spreadsheet.

Keep us updated with your progress - the good and the not so good. We will be cheering you on from the side lines

There is no rush or timescale so do it at your own pace. It's about doing something rather than doing nothing but not putting pressure on yourself if you need to take out of the fund because that's what it's there for.

Keep on keeping on

I'll carry on adding to it when I can and use it towards lease extension in a couple of years, assuming there's no emergency. 
This thread is great, I'm tempted to come back with a new target for a different fund! Thanks for cheering on and good luck to all you savers. 🙂

Well done blue_mango - that's fantastic - woohoo

I can create an a & b fund for you if you'd like to come back with a new refreshed target for another fund if you would like to.

Glad to see the thread has helped with motivation and accountability. You have now been turned bright yellow - this is the 'special' colour for reaching 100%

Always Keep on keeping on

That's exactly what it's therefore - those unforeseen expenses that you hadn't anticipated
