    Hi Hiddenshadow, thanks for organising this again this year.

    Please can I keep my no. (38), if not, don't worry, I'm not too attached to it. Target this year will be the much more achievable £2,000 as we need to save some money for potential moving costs.

    Thanks!

    Can I join this please?

    I don’t currently have a mortgage, but I’m looking to purchase a place within the next year, so any help and encouragement I can get towards saving a deposit and, when I finally get a place, overpaying the future mortgage would be great!

    My aim at the moment is to save £900 a month towards my deposit.

    I also have an appointment with a mortgage advisor next month. Exciting times ahead. :T

    Hi Hidden

    Thanks for running this thread again - can I join and keep my number 6 please?

    I'm still looking at my finances as it looks like I may have a rocky start to the year due to a likely restructuring at work...... :(

    I'll send an update with my target next week....

    Good luck to everyone for 2018
