Hello slowlyfading,
I have found the 2019 thread very useful, thank you for its organisation. I went off the boil during the summer but the motivation of reporting on the threat enabled me to end the year strongly.
I'll try for £10k in 2020. This is a stretch target for me because I will be funding a child at university.

Please sign me up for 2020, but this year it will only be a target of £6K, as my wife is probably going to have dental implants cost over £5K in the New Year, so no way I will save the same as this year. Even £6K will be tough.0
