Hello can I join please? First year of doing this challenge although we have been overpaying for the past two years. I would like to aim for £8000 which is a stretch but I'm up for it!

Absolutely, welcome on board! I've given you #25.

Definitely want to be part of this again next year! I was #98 but happy to move further up the chain if a number is available. Oof hard to say what next years target should be....Let's go with £7500 

That's great, thanks for taking part again. I've moved you up to #35.

#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.

Sorry to hear about your partner's diagnosis, wishing you both all the best for 2023! I've moved you up to #38.

Hi again julicorn 👋🏻 
When I click on the link to the 2023 spreadsheet in the first post, Google is telling me I need to request access… I’ve not needed this in previous years (and the links to previous year’s spreadsheets in the same post still take me to those spreadsheets fine) - has something changed for next year’s spreadsheet?

Sorry about that, and thanks for flagging it up! Sounds like Google has ramped up its default security settings a little - I've made a couple of changes now, would you be able to have another look and see if it works for you now? Thanks again!

Hi Julicorn,

Please can you include me again in the challenge for next year. Happy to get a new number if that helps you fill in gaps on your sheet, but also happy to keep my current one.

Please put me down for target of £16k overpayment in 2023. Thanks v.much!

That's great, thanks for joining again! I've moved you up a little to #40

All updated up to now - if I've only 'liked' your post, that means I've still added your target to the sheet, but you've still got the same number as last year. I thought I'd go with that approach not to post tooooo many comments in a row, haha

Our collective target is at almost £150k already, impressive given that the thread is only a couple of days old! Great stuff everyone, I really look forward to kicking off the 2023 challenge in earnest with you all.

Hello all! I think we're ready to join you! Please can we start with £5k as our 2023 target? Thank you

I can now access it so think you've fixed the issue!
