    I’ve been umming and ahing about my target but think I will go for £10K. I expect to save more than this year, but against that rates may be lower, so we’ll see how it goes. Thank you.

    Hi so pleased you're both running this again for 2026, can I sign up with a target of 12000 again this year. Any number that suits you. I will be posting my December savings hopefully on the 31st as that's pay day. Thanks for all the hard work you both do.

    Count me in, please. This is my first challenge, so it will be very interesting. I aim to save at least £12,000 by depositing into building society accounts only, as I have a mistrust of app only accounts and do not wish to open any bank accounts to access regular savers. Perhaps not an MSE objective, but highest interest is not of the greatest importance as customer service and access to my cash. So, we'll see how we go!

    Thanks,
