Well I'm just resurrecting this ancient thread to say that today we got there! Relief isn't quite the word!

There is a MFiTT-3 thread running somewhere. Have a look, I'm not sure if they are still taking people on. There is also the 2013 MFW thread which is taking people until 30/12/13. There is always a challenge of some description running on these boards.
Good luck with your MFW journey

I was just reading the MF in 3 - T3. I emailed Financial Bliss to see if I could join. I'll look at the other one you mentioned. Thanks for that!
ETA: I've just filled out the online form to join the 2013 MFW challenge.0 -
well done kaz! i still keep this thread subscribed for old times sake;)
am still keeping going, but probably another 3 years to go:(

Nostalgia bump!
LOL, my mortgage went from £150k to about £60k on this challenge, then went zooming up to £300k when we bought our dream home. So much for being mortgage free, though I'm really glad I did the MFiT challenge because it gave us the equity to buy our lovely new home.
I'm still overpaying, but not a religiously as I did on this challenge. We got the mortgage down from £300k to £243, then back up to £250k when we borrowed money to get new windows.
My aims these days are to renovate the house and reduce the mortgage a little bit so that we don't get into difficulties if interest rates rise.
Hope everyone on the old MFi3 thread is doing ok.
Yours,

Hi MFW_ASAP
Yay to the nostalgic, you'll be pleased to know that after the first challenge ended we had a MFW T2 (Take 2
) and we are now in T3 with that one due to close Dec this year. We've had lots of successes along the way too
