    I'm in for the 2020 challenge.

    Can I keep number 7 and have a target of £1650 for 2020? The only uncertainty for next year is what our new fixed rate will be (currently 1.99%). Really hoping a slightly better rate or around the same depending on how long we fix for.

    Thanks for running the new thread Julicorn!

    That's all noted, thanks for taking part again! :j

    Oooh - only just discovered this thread! Count me in again, please, juliecorn! Would appreciate it if I could possibly keep my number #18.

    Will set a (slightly increased) target of 6K - really hoping to smash that and up it to 10K in second half of the year, but that's dependent upon a few other things (hence why it's not going to be my initial target! :D)
