Hello again, julicorn
Could I keep #4 please?
I was hoping to be able to increase my target for next year but, with the rising cost of living, think it’s probably better to stick with the same target of £1500

#88 here after beating my target this year I would like to take part again in 2023's challenge. Happy to keep #88 or fill any gaps if it is easier?
Target will be £3000 in 2023. Unfortunately I've had to halve it from this year as life has become much more unpredictable due to a recent cancer diagnosis for my partner.
Best of luck to everyone for a great 2023.MFW 2022 #88: £6620/£6000

Thank you to all competition posters2 -
Hi there,
Please can we continue as #5 with a more conservative £1000 target. Our fixed mortgage rate is lower than the boe rate, so our focus is earning interest elsewhere. We would still like to keep our spot in this challenge.
Many thanks for your efforts.
