I will also be joining again for next year. Being #12 this year got a little confusing at times given my username has 13 in (happy to take that if anyone is superstitious) but I coped.
Not 100% sure on the target yet - was going to do whatever the Cash ISA allowance was reduced to but it isn't changing yet!
