Hi everyone, happy new year!
Please can I join for 2024?
My target will be £12k again, but I'm considering a change in circumstances that would affect this, but we'll see how things go!
Thanks to enthusiastic saver and Suffolk Lass for running the thread5 -
First update of the year but possibly not the only one for the month…could be more to come for January but depends on how good my bonus from work is which I won’t know until the end of the month
So, to get things started……
