    Thanks NP! Pop over to my other thread and see how badly I am doing. Most people are doing great though and I have promised that I am going to go eBay mad this weekend (starting tomorrow - honest)

    (There is a way you can put naughty words on but I can't remember how - think it was something to do with highlighting)

    Have been itching to have something to report so here it is:
    Amazon: £26.41, Seed mailing £20.50 and money saved from Asda shop £0.78.

    Will be putting it into the savings pot until I know what my February target is and then will overpay the mortgage.

    Had a quick look at the mortgage balance this morning and it is £84,100. Have another £350 coming off which should hopefully hit before the end of January. My target seems such a long way off at the moment but we are only at the beginning of the year and there is plenty of time to actually do something to bring in those pounds.

    Total so far: £319.00

    Hi MQ,

    Thank you. That means a lot to me.

    Hope you are feeling better. Just Pm me when you feel up to it; it's no good trying new things when you aren't feeling 100%.

    All overpayments for this month have now been made so can now report my mortgage balance for 31 January which is:
    £83,215

    Only £17,715 to go for this year's target! :rotfl:

    Just under £100 ready to put towards February interest challenge.
