Yet another £1,000 OP for us here. Nice to see the balance dropping and was nice to see our hard work in OP'ing is paying off when applying for a new deal last month managed to get a better rate.
Onwards and Upwards for next month i suppose.0 -

#12 with my normal £600 OP for the month - struggling for motivation a bit though, it's a fair chunk of cash each month but the mortgage feels like it's hardly moving (overall i'm taking more that £1500 a month off the balance so I'm making decent steps in the right direction, but with a little over £160k outstanding there's a long way to go...)
On the plus side, if i've done my sums right I think i'm finally in the green in MFiT-T30 -
Evening all,
Got a bonus, so maxing my OP for the month ! £500 paid in, so balance is now £2825 / £3,000.
LOL Perhaps I shouldn't have reduced it to £2,500!
NM, let's keep it the same, as it will inspire me for next year

#114 reporting in with a £500 OP for November
Only one more payment of £547 to make in Dec, very confident I'll reach my target
2015 is going to be a different approach - OH and I are potentially moving house / city but won't know for sure until the spring. I'm planning to use my OP money to save for the move, and if it doesn't happen I'll OP it and set a new target for next year. Once we've moved, I'll get back on the OPing. Phew.
Well done all - you're all very inspiring! :T2016 diet challenge 16lbs/42lbs lost
