Hi:j

I wondered if you could add me onto your list, I started OP in August. My aim is £6000 by xmas. Thank you, Exarmydreamer.

#63, another £500 op'd taking us to £4590 so far.

Hope its something simple with the cat Spiggle.

#141. Maximum payment of £500 made again today. Which takes me over my target for the year :j.

There are some expensive months coming up for me, so I doubt I will manage to put away as much each month, so I think I'll aim for £200 per month for the rest of the year, giving me a nice round £7500 as a new target for the year, if that's ok?

Cheers!

oooh oooh oooh, I have just been playing around with my spreadsheet and see that if I overpay by £570 a month, we can be MF by the time I am 45! :j (I am 39 on Friday) - which would knock a whole 10 years & 2 months off the original term.

I so wish that I had found this site and had my MF LBM sooner instead of 7 years into my 25 yr mortgage .

ETA - Just OPed another £100 (MFW #30)

Evening all,

Back to work today and I'm shattered!

Please welcome our latest recruit exarmydreamer who joins us at No.17 on the spreadsheet. Good luck with your challenge.

Also, please welcome another new challenger, from the googledoc, Remote_control who joins us at No.33 on the spreadsheet. Wishing you all the best with your challenge too.

That's a fantastic OP starflame and blows your target out of the water! Well done. Do let me know if you want to alter your target at all.

Excellent OP Jock_Tight and such a short time left for you now. So exciting!

Thanks for the kind thoughts elliejay. Everything normal on the blood tests but a quarter of his weight lost in such a short time is worrying. The vet didn't think it could be but it must be him pining for his sister. They were twins, born together, rescued together, found by us and brought home together and 10 happy years together so it seems the only answer. (Unless we go down more scans, xrays, etc which I'm not prepared to put him through.) Anyway, congratulations on so convincingly smashing your target! I've updated your OPs and changed your current target too. Good luck with it.

Your enthusiasm makes me smile in a very good way kandfs mam! As many told me a few years ago, there is no point kicking yourself over past spending or lack of knowledge. You have now had the LBM and that's what is important. Your OP is updated, well done.

Lovely OPs there coldcazzie, all updated for you. Keep up the great progress.

So that's us all up to date. I won't have chance to get on in the morning so please post (or send a googledoc update) and I'll get to it tomorrow evening.

All the best,
Spigs

Hi Spiggle,
Thank you for the spreadsheet. I love looking at everybody's progress, not just my own.
I'm not sure whether it's worth updating my target as my total mortgage now stands at.....fanfare....
£751!!!!:j
With my regular mortgage payment and one more OP of £650 in September it will be gone
I don't think I ever imagined I would get to such a small number. It feels a little bit odd really but roll on next payday

kandfs_mam

Wow starflame - well done!!
