    Just submitted my form for Chart 9. So happy to be where I am - something I would never have achieved without these boards and the amazing stories of other people's journeys!

    Would love to add another £10000 on my target but circumstances are ruling against that at present.......maybe that'll have changed by the next update and I can attempt it in the final stretch?? :cool:
    Total OPs 2012 - 2019 £39744.75
    Target 2020 £18500/£18500
    01/05/2020 MORTGAGE FREE
