Unfortunately, my update does not seem to have worked.
Please can you enter my new total £54800 - 189 - the end of the rainbow. Have also re-sent Google docs.
Thanks again.
Just checks...
You provided an update at 23.20 and 50 seconds... I'd moved on to chart 06. I'll just apply now. Refresh in a minute of three and it should be good!

The half way mark...
Half way into the challenge and you should have an idea if you're going fail, match or exceed your objective.
I've just created Chart 06 and updated the links at the start of this thread to point to Chart 06, but here's a link here too:

In case you've forgot, the next chart gets published in advance so that you can study your shortfall column to see where you need to be three months on from now.
Get 12th June in your diary, on the fridge or whatever so that you get an update in for the half way mark.
Looks like teapot2 has the smallest shortfall at just £269 being already at 49.04% of an ideal of 50%

Well - seem to be doing okay.
Approximately £82,000 left on my mortgage.
I have given myself a personal secondary target of £70,000 outstanding by October 2012 (this is when my fixed rate will end and I will re-negotiate).

Even though you are not telling us anything we don't know on a personal level, i do love the charts. I particularly like the fact that i am already in yellow for next time with only £406 to find. Woohoo. Hopefully i can stay in front, although DH did buy a £7k car yesterday, so we do need to think about building savings again.
Although, the claiming back overpayments from NW seems really easy and quick, so as long as we have a little to cover something immediately, i think we are ok.0 -
Thank you for dong the charts FBMortgage November 2003 was £135k, but thanks to this website on 28/08/12 we became MORTGAGE FREE!
