    Welcome wilsons! You are no. 99 and we are tantalisingly close to 100 MFWs :j

    ironman1 - I've updated you, brilliant that you're increasing the target already :beer:
  • Hello, can I be number 100 please?! My target is to pay £12k off my mortgage.
  • I have officially set up a standing order with the OP on. Only 51.77 a month, but better than nothing I suppose.

    This would mean an OP of just over £600.00, but I am going to aim for the 1K mark.

    Good Luck everyone!

    You certainly may! :j

    Nice work, did you want to increase your 'official' ;) target as well?
  • Hi, I'd like to join as well,please.
    I was no 48 in 2009 and had a target 3000 yet managed over 7800 so a great success
    This year might be tougher but as I am going onto a flexible rate of 2.5% from January (hurray!!!) I've already set up an overpayment of 180 a month plus will try to add on top of that.

    Target: 4000 unlikely but hey let's be optimistic!

    Good luck everyone!
  • I am worryingly excited about starting this challenge!
    2010 MFW Number 81:
    £40/£700 :T



  • I'm excited too - but scared at the same time - I hope we all get through it together!

    Overpaying by £600 a month sounds scary - over half of my take home pay. Here's hoping for regular bonuses!!!
    My Direct debit means I'm already overpaying by about £150, so I only need to find another £450 a month on average - eek
