    Well done on the savings. 

    Do you think the earning lull is due to the summer holidays or do you need a new strategy?

    That sounds like its looking up for you. What happens if you don't hit your £30K target this year? Is it just get a CC / loan for the difference plus DH working longer or is there something more? Is that when you IO mortgage runs out?
