    Does the same number apply as last year or do you need to request to be added to the new spreadsheet?

    If I need to be added, please get me added and put me down for £15k.

    That reminds me, I need to update the last year totals towards the end of the year!

    Good luck to everyone saving, remember even saving a couple of quid here and there is a start! It's a saving!

    Let's do this!

    I'm sure SlowlyFading will add you with a new number when she next has some time. Good luck with the 2020 saving!

    My expenses for Sept - Dec have now been paid. So I have banked another £250 but as I have already posted for this month I will keep a record and include it into next months.

  • Hi,
    I’d like to join again for this year. Aiming for £6,000 target this year, although I’m planning to have this saved by October so will be a challenge. Already managed £200 so a strong start after feeling like I’d over spent in December.
    Look forward to receiving my new number.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Hi,

    Can I still join in. I like to buy a house in 2021 and I like to add €12.000 to my savingsaccount. Can I join in with Euro’s instead of Pounds. If my English is not very good, forgive me, I’m from the Netherlands.
