    Not sure what my current mortgage balance is though, if you need this info I will call Abbey tomorrow to get it.

    Welcome jackie_w!

    We don't need to know your mortgage balance, but of course feel free to share, e.g. when you reach a round number, or a special number, or you just want to share :j

    I've put you in at no. 21, any takers for no. 18? :D

    (fellow geeks - a quarter of the challengers so far are all aiming for £5k; nerd, moi? :rotfl:)
  • ive just filled in your speadsheet form, not sure how i update after this, do i add this page as a fave?.
    i had a great year this year overpaying but ive built up a balance on a c/c, luckily its 0% for now so im aiming for a conservative £2000 O.P. for 2010:T

    Welcome golfiematt and the other new signups :beer:
    Good question...to update, you can either use the spreadsheet form again or send a PM, or post again on thread; whichever you prefer. Naturally you'll be wanting to add this page as a fave anyway to follow everyone's progress :p
  • I'd like to join this too...I won't ask for my current numer as it's 280 and I might be waiting a while, I'll just take the next number! My challenge will be to reduce my mortgage by £10,000

    Thanks

    Hi cake21,

    You're going to very busy with this challenge and the interest in just a few days is a good indicator of how important it is for a lot of us to be rid of our mortgages sooner.

    Thanks also for linking to my (and other MFW's) diary in Post #1.

    Keep up the good work. :beer:

    Hi everyone:j

    I am going to sign myself and DH up to this, although he is asleep and cant be asked;) Hopefully he will be just as keen as me. We have a £180k mortgage and would like to make a start somewhere.

    We are currently renovating and furnishing it so money is being stashed in so many pots its crazy. Because of that, I will only set up a small target of £1500 for the year. Hopefully this will get smashed but its a start in the right direction.

    DH did agree to money saved or won goes in the piggy so fingers crossed.

    Good luck everyone:T

  • Hi all,

    Well... I was going to join, then I wasn't as I thought it would distract me from the MFiT-T2 challenge, but what the hell - let's join in the 2010 party. :D

    OK, numbers:

    MFiT : 19 has gone
    MFiT-T2 : 1 has gone
    MFW2009 : 169. I'll not be that cruel :rotfl:

    Happy to be the next number in the list. As far as targets go, I'd like to overpay by £2,750 in 2010 ie about £230 a month.

    Less than my 2009 pledge, but I've got my sensible head on this time around and hitting this target should get me ball park to where I want to be at the end of 2010.

    My normal mortgage payment includes a large overpayment already and my overpayments over the normal mortgage payment is therefore a second overpayment. Anyone follow that :confused:

    Financial Bliss.
