I'm back, but was caught up in the chaos at Gatwick last night and didn't get home until 4am so still a bit bleary-eyed - will get the list updated later on once i've woken up a bit

Right, spreadsheet update done - will get it online as soon as possible, hopefully this morning.
First off, thanks all for signing up - we're up above the £550k point. Great to see some big targets set and a few people aiming for mortgage freedom in 2015, but for me it's even better to see the number of people starting to OP for the first time. :T
I've tried to allocate requested numbers wherever possible, but in a few cases I couldn't do it due to multiple requests for the same number - sorry about that. Please can you all check that i've not missed you out (hopefully not, but it's early
) and I have your target correct
newgirly - you didn't specify a target in your post, but your signature says your target for 2015 is £20k, so i've used that
greent - you've put your target as 'clear your remaining mortgage' (which is great
), i'm assuming that's the £12,138 listed in your signature?
Good luck all, and my very best wishes for a happy (and mortgage-reducing) 20150 -
Please could someone check that the Google Docs links are working and accessible, thanks

2015 MFW spreadsheet
Monthly update form
edit: I know spreadsheet is currently telling me I 'must try harder' despite recording a 2015 OP, believe that will fix itself tomorrow
Grateful thanks to VoucherMan for sharing the spreadsheet for me to copy0 -
I can see them both, so presume they are working-am not technology minded though so maybe best not to rely on me..!Mortgage free 04/03/2025. Thanks to this site and lots of overpayments bit by bit.
Next stop: house repairs, holiday fund, replace our very old cars, more financial security/early retirement savings.🤞0 -
