Hello! I've been lurking in the 2023 thread, waiting for the 2024 one to start
12K is a bit of a stretch for me (we're also trying to overpay our mortgage) so my goal will be a little more achievable £1200 please!

Is this rainy day savings or can you include pots for specific aims?

Morning, would love to join in again.  Retiring in the Spring so am going to guestimate and go for £5,000 - fantastic if I manage that and even better if it's over!

Thanks so much for running this challenge @enthusiasticsaver and @Suffolk_lass

That is up to you but I can only keep track of one savings pot per person. You can split into various pots and keep track yourself if you want. 

Personally I only do rainy day/long term savings as the pots tend to get spent during the year.
