    Thanks very much SF for running this again. I fell short this year (well, I will do) but I'd like to aim for £24,000 again please. If I could keep #55 that'd be great. 

    Thanks.

      Hi Slowlyfading, I hope you are feeling better now.  Thanks for continuing to run this thread.  I'd love to join again next year with a target of £40k please.  I'm almost certainly going to fall short this year but I will try again in 2022!  Any number is fine with me.  Thank you  :)
