    Mint1955 I've updated you on the spreadsheet (from googledoc) to have a new total for January so far of £300. By the way you're listed as MFW2012 No.108.

    All the best,

    Hi, O Mighty Thread Overseers

    I've pulled forward my OP saving from Feb to today as now that banks have to transfer money quickly, I can do this all in one day on pay day...yay!

    Too excited to wait, basically! :D

    So, today have made a op to my savings account of £570.00 for February :T, making a total of £1770 for this year.:T:T:T

    I was going to push it to £600, but think I'm leaving myself just a bit too short. But I'm hopeful that once I know my electricity bill mid Feb, and if I try very hard not to spend money on irrelevant things like food/diesel (:rotfl:), I may be able to trickle a few more pounds in....but we shall see.

    Have already worked out what I think I can pay next payday...I know...very sad...but got to get a buzz somewhere in all this frugality :D

    Good luck everyone, and many thanks to the "overseers". Fab job to keep everything updated so quickly. Well done :T

    xx

    Edited to add - no 36....sorry!

    have been having a wee read of the spreadsheet for this challenge , we nearly have 1 million planned on paying off extra this year .... that is alot of money ... really made me smile and thought i would share it with you :) ... go team mfw 2012 :):):)
  • many thanks to the "overseers". Fab job to keep everything updated so quickly. Well done :T

    No problem. At the moment I am living vicariously through others' OPs as I don't think I will be in a position to make any until April :( Nice to see others getting off to a fab start though :T
