    Hi all,

    I would like to join this challenge. I am not sure whether I will meet my target, but I will certainly give it my best shot!!

    I am currently reducing the capital on my mortgage by £12,000 per year and would like to stretch that a little further. I would therefore like to reduce my mortgage, which will sit at approx. £126,000 on 12/12/12 to £80,000 at the end of the three years.

    There is mention of a form. Can someone point me in the right direction as to where it is? Many thanks.

    Thank you very much for such an inspirational group.

    Best,

    Hi,

    Thank you very much. I completed the form without my number, I hope that's ok (until I get one).

    All the best,

    Hi. A quick post containing two new challengers:

    71. SusanneCape. Reduce my mortgage from £126,000 to £80,000.
    72. Matt The Chippy. Reduce my mortgage from £93,000 to £70,000.

    Thanks for showing an interest. I'll quickly PM you both.

    As for challenge numbers, the form is dual purpose for registrations and updates - could have probably done two forms but there would have been the complication of which one to use.

    You can't supply a number at registration as I manually allocate one as people register.

    Thanks,
    FB.

    Hi all

    I have just completed the google doc and would like to join this challenge.

    My mortgage will be around £47,800 by the start of the challenge and I would like to see the £30,000 mark at the end. It's not as big a reduction as many of you good people but we do have quite a bit of debt that we are trying to pay off currently at 0% before it rises to the normal rates.
    We also have planned trips to Australia and America for family and friends various anniversaries.

    Best I get saving as much as I can in order to complete this challenge.

    Thanks

    666.

    :hello: everyone, please can I join?

    Me and DH are in the process of buying a house - it should be completed any day now :j :j and want to start OPing straight away, so this challenge is perfect :D

    Can't give numbers just yet, but will do so once I know them, if that's okay? :)
