I have removed five of the six above now as no word, no show, nada in response to being tagged. One response, so try_harder remainsSuffolk_lass said:As we approach the end of March, I am tagging the "can I join..." no shows. I have looked at all the profiles and while one or two have not posted since they asked to join (across the whole forum, I mean), others are looking regularly, but not posting on this thread, posting on other threads but not this one, and some have been nowhere near MSE since joining. Maybe you changed your mind, moved on, or forgot, or something else.
Whichever group you are in, if you don't post or PM one of us to say please leave me in the challenge, the following 6 5 were removed next week:

I have effectively stolen this from next month to drip feed more into investments whilst the market is down. It means next month will be a lesser one so excuse me whilst I go and find things to sell to try to start making it back!
