Welcome to the thread for everyone starting or continuing their MFW journey in 2011. :hello:
Hopefully many of us will want to continue the hard work that we have put in to overpaying our mortgages in 2010, and there will be those who want to start on their MFW journey - for all of us this is the place to be. :j
Please feel free to join our journey at any time - you can either:

There is no cut off point for joining the thread and the challenge (except the 31st December 2011 :rotfl: ) so if at any point this year you are ready to start working on becoming mortgage free please join us! Any overpayment (OP) target welcome no matter how small:money:Also, if you have a diary on MSE it can be linked to the first posts if you want, just let me have the link.
To see our previous successes, please see the 2010 MFW challenge and Zavarony's 2009 MFW thread that I shamelessly plagiarised :T
Good luck to us all!

Hi
Filled in the form, please add me to the list . My target is £25,000 in 2011. Thank-you.0 -
Need to send my final update for 2010 - I see you have set my 2011 target at 25k Cake...... hmmmmm, I failed this year (accidentally bought a new kitchen :rotfl:) but I suppose I had better pull my stripey socks up for 2011
. That will more than clear the mortgage on this house and make inroads on BTL 1 :T
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0
