    Hi, I have registered my details twice in December using your form, but my details have not registered on your spreadsheet.

    Would you please add me to your spreadsheet as soon as possible as I would like to take part in this challenge.

    Mummy18 your details have been received (twice) onto the 'update data' page of the spreadsheet. This is as far as it will go until FB picks it ups & translates it across into the chart sheets. FB is pretty busy at the moment & we've just had an update point before Christmas so give him a couple of weeks.

    Is the 140k your balance today or what your balance was approximately at 12th Dec 2011? as we are now over a year into this challenge with just under 2 years to run, completing on 12th Dec 2014.
    - Mortgage: 1st one down, 2nd also busted
    - Student Loan gone

    I think this challenge started 12 Dec 12 (the last one deliberately ending 12/12/12, hence the weirdness of starting on the 12th of the month, so we'll finish in two years on 12 Dec 15? Time flies!

  • Hey everyone :D

    Silly question... I see a lot of people are joining this challenge now. If I was to join the MFiT challenge, would it end Dec 2012, or three years from today??

    Thank you for your time! :beer:

    Hi Trix-a-belle, Where can I find the update data page please? I thought this challenged started on 12th December 2013 and to finish in 2016? £140k is my balance at 1st December 2013. If it's already ran for a year, then it's no point joining halfway through. Don't worry about it.
    Current debts: £15,000. :( Current debt end date: 1st April 2016. :( Debt free date: 1st January 2015 :)
    Current mortgage: £137,075.24. Current mortgage end date: 1st November 2033. Mortgage free date: 1st December 2020 :rotfl:
    No. 65: 2014 - £365 in 365 days
    2014 - 1% challenge: 1% = £160 (10%/100%) :j

    Hey everyone - I have been rubbish and only gone down from £110,920 to £106,550.38 in a year and no where target which was way too ambitious. I haven't done an update and will need to do this in March but thought I would just say where I am.

    I'm fairly certain financial bliss is happy for late comers to the party. If you read the first 3-4 posts of the thread there are some very comprehensive posts explain all of the challenge 'rules' and what not. In one of them, there will be a link to an online form you'll need to complete to register your details and get your challenger number.
