It's very quiet - everyone must be out enjoying the sunshine!

Love the new thread title and great news on the OPs allowed!

Have a great day!

£999 OP made (the most we can do online) :j will rinse and repeat for the next 3 days :T

I once had a limit to either transfer £££'s or pay £££'s online, but was allowed to make the entry several times on the same day to make up the total I wanted to pay.

just mentioning, in case you are also allowed to do this. Have a lovely weekend.

ps - we now have roughly the same MF target date

Thank you AFK I will definitely be investigating that today xx

Morning all,

It's been a while since I did a proper update so here goes:

Original mini goal of being at £125k by end of June will be achieved end of May (will actually be at £124k). That will max out our OP allowance for the year.

This means we have paid £13k off the mortgage so far this year :j

normal monthly payments will see us at £120k by year end.

Will have saved up £20k by Christmas, to make big OP in new year of next years allowance, plus some left over.

Any thoughts / tips on the plan would be appreciated xx

Plans for the next 7 days:

1. Fuel up and buy milk today
2. NSDs tomorrow through until Thursday
3. Eat from freezer and store cupboard (DH working away makes this easier!)

Right, all that thinking requires a :coffee:

ATB xx

Amazing work on the mortgage.

Wow that is some overpayment this year - really impressed : )

Thanks everyone. I can't properly express how much logging on and seeing messages of support means to me

I will also list 5 things on eBay today - if they make £50 I would be mightily chuffed.

Morning all,

Today's job is to try and understand matched betting. I have been putting this off for ages but now is the time to really give it a blinkin' good go. Any of my fellow MFW pals dipped their toe in the water? X

Edited to add: I have planned our meals from now until Friday and we shouldn't need to spend any money at all Today will definitely be a NSD, and tomorrow my priority will be paying some change into the bank, and changing some stray Euros to sterling to pay in and OP.

LOVE this journey x
