Nice idea. A bit of motivational rivalry
Think this would be better based on actual money paid off, rather than in percnetage terms.
Chances are that that's feasible - just need to work out how to present the data / do a chart.
I'l have a look this evening and reoprt back any progress made.

Yes mate, bit of motivational therapy;)
Could even have a movers arrow with a chart after the first one is published?
Don't bother if its too much work, as you do enough on this MFW 2012 which is hugely appreciated.12/12/12 Lets party!:beer:0 -

Congratulations Welshlassie!
My Wife gave birth to our first child on the 3rd of December. Baby boy weighed in at 6 pounds 10 ounces. A bundle of joy...
We have done really well this year and have paid off over 50% of our 93k target. This will definately slow but am confident we can meet our target of MFi3T2.0 -

Congratulations Welshlassie.
Actually popped in to share a new chart...
I've just finished off a League table of the top 50 payees. Having a single league table for one chart didn't give any comparison between charts, so I've placed the top 50 for each of charts 1 to 4 together as per below:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AnhcWfGMRVgddGtzMTdvS1VnNXUwakpPc3NjZzRHMVE&hl=en_GB&single=true&gid=34&output=html
Although it's not dynamic, as I update each chart, the changes will also get carried through to this league table chart.
I've put the number, ie 1 to 50, the challenger and their number, the amount they have repaid from the chart, plus the difference between the person immediately above you in the league table.
I've had to drop the font size too to squeeze 4 charts onto one league table chart. Also means that instead of rustling up 12 league table charts, I need only worry about 3.
Please let me know what you think!

What is great is the level of consistency - only 73 people across all 4 charts.
Well done to all those in the Top 50 all 4 times, and I know a lot of you have now cleared your mortgages :T. I managed twice. Great to see Maz123 in the last 2 charts - hope you're feeling great
. And I'm sure it's purely coincidence that FB managed to sneak into 50th position on the last chart :rotfl:.

Wow thanks I'm 24, 22, 21 then 19 how exciting:), I guess the good thing is as the chart goes on the people who have already paid off will allow more room for new people to hit the top 50 tooMortgage November 2003 was £135k, but thanks to this website on 28/08/12 we became MORTGAGE FREE!
