Evening all, No 127 reporting in.
Managed (and i don't know how) to max this month's OP, the first time this year. So this makes May's OP to £500
Well I do know why I haven't maxed any before, Hubby and I decided to try doing a Buy to Let - arghhh, 2 months in after the paying the new mortgage (and sorry to say it's interest only) it's still not rented outHaving said that, it's one of those long term family homes (not a modern 2-bed professional homes) so should expect 3-6 year rental.
Now as any MFW knows, whats the first thing to do, start OP'g. So once this is rented out, that's the plan.
If anyone knows of anyone wanting a 3/4 bedroom home in south Leeds, 12 mins bus ride to bus station, let me knowIts got views and parking ...
Good luck to everyone over half-term, in trying to spend as tiny amount as possible :P

Hi all.. #52 here
Still (just about) keeping on track for the target, over 50% there but including a bonus which arrived in March.
Been using an Instant Pot recently which has run up some tasty meals at not much cost (:))
On the other hand my laptop died and "had" to buy a Surface Pro 4... not MSE but a great new toy0 -
Spreadsheet updated - hope everyone's having a nice, relaxing bank holiday in the sunshine. I've been doing the update while ... um ... 'multitasking' with a beer and a barbecue, so (even more than usual) if I've made a mistake then let me know and i'll fix it
lazer-zxr - welcome aboard! Hopefully nothing to be too apprehensive about, although the OP's can get a bit addictive at times! Are there any OPs so far that you'd like to count?
anna42hmr - I've updated your target, good luck!
jodles16 and linzipinz - well done on reaching your targets already
MortgageFreeMimi - well done on the huge OP (...rather than the holiday, as I did..!)
rasputin_thorpedoReached a new milestone, mortgage now starts with a £16X instead of a £17X!
Well done on ticking down through a milestone, I find those very motivational too
Maybe_its_becausePleased with that. I think that puts us back in the green so I can stop fixating on the MFW spreadsheet!

My ISA has expired and decided it made better sense to put what little is in there into paying off mortgage than languishing in a silly % interest account!0 -
