Apologies for the lack of update last weekend, life overtook me. Stockholm was lovely in the spring sunshine though - there was even time between meetings to go to the Vasa museum, really amazing!
TwentySomethingGirl welcome to the challenge, I've added you to the spreadsheet as number 85, could you please let me know your target for the year?
Tony_R - there are no hard and fast rules for what get counted as OPs vs 'normal' payments etc., it's really just a target to aim at as a bit of motivation so you can pick any way of counting that works for you. I'm going to switch to an offset in a year or so too, i'll work out how i'm going to account for things then
Sundaysgirl - target increased, well done! And JCL well done on approaching the finishing line, I've just noticed your target MF date in your signature. Hadn't realized you were so close!0 -
And on a personal note, I've just made an OP of £7563.73, taking me to £8163.73 for the month.
Sadly still £146k to go, but a lot better than the £188k it was when I took out the mortgage two years ago.0 -
Hi
Thanks for adding me. I think we'll go for £1200 for this year. We have a regular SO for £100 extra a month so just need to find another £100 a month to make the target for the year, but I hope it will be more.
£100 OP made in May

Afternoon all.
Well a bit fed up with myself have only managed to do £700 this month as we need to get new tyres for the car far enough.
I will have to have a little break in June as my own fault and looked at the Amex bill and its now £1200 arghhh. These little bits really do add up. I also have also £56 on ikea card which hopefully will be gone this week. So next 6 weeks going to clear that bad boy lol. Then i wont be spending £200 to try and get the bill down .
I actually had a go at myself in my little facebook group. Only me could shout at herself in a group with just herself in lol. Confident I will still hit my target onwards and upwards.
ooops forgot sorry waffling on #120.
Hope you all have had a great May and an even better June.Aim to be mortgage free by 2017
