    Good grief, I blinked and there's 31 posts on the 2020 thread already!
    Looking forward to starting up a new year's savings - a little different for me as I'm talking to the boss about going part-time hopefully - so please can I have a target of £15000 Slowly? Thanks!

    Your loyalty to the thread has been rewarded - you are (I think) the only person to have kept the same number - the prestigious number 2! (apart from SF of course :T). I have managed 20 this year, up from 68 in 2019 :j

    Hi Slowly, I'd like to sign up again. I'm sticking with the £7K target. I know I'm going to miss it this year, but I have a better plan in place for next year already and I hope to earn a bit more money to put towards it. Thanks for much for doing this thread - it has really helped me the last couple of years.
