Want to be MF in 5 years

Just a bit of an update as it`s been 15 days since I last posted.
Last time I posted I thought that OH and the few hours I do, were going to be reduced, but his has stayed the same and I was asked to do some extra OT, which I was very happy to accept.
So, so far I have:
1. Managed some overtime
2. very small win on the Thunderball.
3. Found some roadkill.
4. Walked to town and saved on the parking.
I`m going to put some of my savings towards this and make another OP of £510 later today.
The next big challenge for me is to sort out our grocery spend over the next months. I have failed badly on this and know that I can save so much.MFW#46 2015 Target £2400/£1950
Jan £120, March £810, April £510, May £510
Original Mortgage - April 2030 until MF
Start of MF journey - April 2015(changed to reducing term)
Mortgage now - May 2029 until MF0 -

Thanks cbrpaul for dropping by. I`m looking forward to seeing how much this has taken off the term.
So for today, I have:
1. walked past the caf!, whilst taking the dog for his walk and made a cuppa at home.
2. Have been given some free materials to finish off a DIY project.
I`ll save the money I would have spent, into my mortgage jar and pay this into the mortgage at the beginning of next month.MFW#46 2015 Target £2400/£1950
