    Really lost my way over the past year, so would really like to join up and my target is £3000 for the year!


    Thanks


    Jodles :D

    Welcome to the challenge! :j I've given you #115.
  • Ooooh, I'm already on the spreadsheet - thanks julicorn! Between needing to do a pretty major refurbishment on the house in preparation for our first baby that is due in July, and then the subsequent maternity leave, please can I reduce my target to £3,600 for 2020. That's £300 a month which puts us on target to be MF by 55 (ten years early, reducing our mortgage to a 25 year term instead of the 35 term we started with). I think our 2019 target would prove overly ambitious!! And please can I keep my previous number (99)

    That's all noted, thank you! And that is still a fantastic target, especially with a baby on the way :heart2:

    Target is £12,589 which will completely clear my mortgage and would like to keep my current number if possible!


    I've just pulled an OP forward into 2019, so can you drop my target to £5,000 please - that'll see me through to the end now :D
  • Hi Julicorn,

    Thrilled to see you running the 2020 challenge.

    Please could we signup? Number 10 again if you can.

    This year, we’ve lots of catching up to do but still a lot of outgoings.
    Can you please set us a £2,000 target. Erring with caution but, hopefully, achievable.

    Thank you
    MIB x
