    I'm currentlt doing the MFi3-T2 and MFW 2012 challenges. I'd love another 3 year challenge. I'm looking to repay our mtge in Jul 2016 (currently 02/2017), but I suppose if there was another 3 year challenge I could aim for a few months earlier and try and be MF...... gulp!!!!

    Yes please! I think by then we'll just be in the position to start making proper overpayments. We certainly won't be paying it off in three years, but a longer term goal would be a great incentive!

    I don't normally use "LOL", but LOL indeed.

    Looks like there's certainly enough interest for a third challenge.

    @abouttimetoo - Yes I'm hoping to be on the "T2" roll of honour, but looking at how I could be an active participant in the "T3" challenge, thus keeping me on my toes and having the urge to keep the challenge updated etc.

    More details to follow - I'm not keeping tabs on names or objectives just yet!

    Yes please - I am currently doing MFi3-T2 but will still have £150k to go at the end of this year so definitely in it for the long haul.

    It has really helped me to keep up my over payments by reporting in every 3 months & reading others posts really spur me on
