    Hello HiddenShadow
    Please can I join for 2017 and keep my number which is 97.
    My goal is £3000.
    Many thanks
  • Hi Hiddenhadow,

    I'd like to join up to the 2017 challenge please. I had #93 in the 2016 challenge, so it would be great to retain that number if possible

    My O/P target for 2017 will be £1500.

    Thank you :)
    SPC #23 - 2015 = £319.60 / 2016 = £315.50 / 2017 = £490.75 / 2018 = £295.50 / 2019 = £267
    MFW #93 - 2017 = £1942.84/£1900 / 2018 = £8591.23/£9050
    MFiT-T4 #28 = reduced mortgage from £109,000 to £77,000
    MFiT-T5 #34
  • Can I join please?


    Current mortgage balance is £226, 973 :eek:


    I'd like to set a very optimistic target of £6,000 of overpayments in 2017


    Works out at sending them an extra £500 a month, lets see how I get on!


    Our fixed rate is up in February 2018 so would like to get the balance down as much as I can before then (while also trying so save up and go on holiday to Australia, but that's a whole other story!)

    Could i join too please? I've a target of £4,200 for 2017 (ambitious for me!)
  • Think I got everyone - welcome to the new MFWers! :)

    Approaching £500,000 in targets now. :D
  • Also, unless anyone has strong objections, I'm thinking of scrapping the list of names/targets from the first post. It's easy to see in the spreadsheet if people are curious, and would save a lot of scrolling. (Not to mention admin work for me keeping the list and the spreadsheet updated.)
