just really wanted to pop in and say i havnt forgotten this challenge ... just waiting for pay day then it will be op time i'm getting excited as i really want to try and make a dent into the mortgage this year ( and also make a dent in the debt )

star flame i know the joy i get every time i get under another £10,000 ( from 50,000 to 49,000 for eg) well done in getting to the last one

starflame

I managed to find a little bit more money so another overpayment made today of £450.

Mortgage now stands at £8718.38 ...and counting down

My mortgage is my only debt...no credit cards and my car is paid for so as soon as this is done I'll be totally debt free and planning to start the mega save to retire before I'm 65..or 66...or whatever the age will be by the time I get there!

Wow Starflame - with a total OP of £4000 this month that mortgage balance will be zero in just a couple of months!
Union Girl - well done on your first OP of the year of £83 (updated from google docs)!

Not at all catslovelycats - sad obsessed MFW no 96 here reporting another £100 paid off - so much looking at spreadsheets and pondering "if I just pay that there then that money comes here etc, etc..."

Well done starflame, that's fantastic.

Skint_spice I've updated you, well done.

Tabbitha I've amended your total in line with the googledoc update sheet.

Everyone is going great guns, keep at it.

And we're still open for new challengers if you want to join us, everyone welcome.

All the best,
Spigs

I'm hoping to add a bigger OP at the end of the month, so adding money that I wouldn't normally of had until then, eg eBay sales. This will be the same most months

No, I'm becoming exactly the same - transfer this 2p here and that 5p there, shave a bit off here, a bit off there. Only need to eat once a week surely instead of three times as I do now...etc etc! :rotfl:

I can't wait to be free of the mortgage so I can get a life again outside of my spreadsheets/notes :rotfl:

Good luck!
