    Good start to the year against my target, was always going to be due to cashing in my sealed pot and £2 coins from last year. Also got a payment from a rewards site of £150 and split this four ways between mortgage, general savings, new car fund and new door fund (I actually name them that on my online banking,)

    Total OP for Jan £357.50

    Feb hopefully will be another good month as I've still got some £2 coins to pay in, will use some of my council tax payment ( have it over 10 months) and I'm due a good bonus in Febs pay.

    Tbf my Op,s will taper off towards the summer when I shift my focus towards DIY and holidays.

  • No 31 with first OP of the challenge. Only managed £200 as trying to pay off a loan we have this year too so that, other than our mortgage, we will be debt free by the end of the year hopefully. So also managed to pay £700 off our loan this month too :D
