    A predictable £600 for #12 for August - I have that set as a monthly OP via standing order and keep hoping that i'll add a bit extra to it from time to time, but after 8 months i've still not managed that. Anyway, progress downwards is good :)

    #19 reporting in an OP for August of £2600 after an unexpected windfall

    That takes me over my initial target so now it's a case of seeing how far I can go... (Max allowed without erc will be £8,100 and currently at £5,200)

    Thanks JCL

    Hello

    #150 here with my normal OP of £500 for August.

    Nearly there.....another 2 years tops and I will be MF! (that will be paid off in 15 years instead of the original 25 year term....not bad going and so pleased that I will be MF so much earlier, every little bit really does help)
    What goes around comes around.....I hope!
