  • Thanks for new thread :)
    Me please for the last time hopefully
    Target £1334 to be able to finish my mortgage in April, probably not achievable but definitely will be May :j
    Dont mind what number I have.

    Im not sure whether to include in my target my standard OPs as I always have done in which case I need to add £184*4 to my orig target. So new target £2070.

    My first std OP of £184 plus extra £150 done.

    Total £334/£2070 16%
    MFW 16 No 33
    2016 OP Paid/Target 2063/£2063 (100%) COMPLETE

  • Yes please - #28 - I had to sign up again but was #28 in 2014 and 2015.

    Please can you put me down for £30k and fingers crossed I can manage it. I am planning to be ultra frugal this year and with no set income I need to clear through the mortgage debt as and when I make decent money so lean times will be less lean.

    Thank you for running these threads!
  • Hi Lomcevak, thanks for running the thread again!

    I'd like to join again, #32 in 2015 but please change it if it makes it easier.

    As I finish work soon for maternity leave & won't be returning until April 2017 our income will be dramatically reduced, but I'd like to aim for a target of £1500 this year. I'm hoping I'll beat this, but I'm still a little unsure of how the budget will work once baby is here so am being cautious!

    Hi everybody,

    Happy New Year to you all.

    Lomcevak please can you put me down for the challenge again this year.

    I'd like to keep # 137 if possible, and I'm setting my target at 12000.00gbp

    Thankyou

    Hi, I'd love to sign up again for 2016, great if I can keep #90 but no problem if not.

    After much head scratching would like to go for a target of £8,000 for 2016. It will be quite a stretch for us, but that's what this challenge is all about and with a bit of effort should be achievable.

    Wishing you all the best of luck!
    2021 MFW #130. Target: £300/£2500
