Hi hiddenshadow,
MFW No 86 reporting in with an OP of £325 for the months of November and December.
That's me done for the year and happy to say my overall target of £3750 was achieved with a little bit extra going in on top to take my grand total to £3900. Best start planning for next year.
Thanks0 -

As my original 2018 target was £4k (and I was way behind on that for the 1st half of the year) I'm pleased with the end result for 2018(Won't be repeated at that level in 2019 though, as some monies are being diverted to a big holiday fund) We also paid of almost £19k of debt, paid for a bespoke handmade kitchen (cost was almost twice the amount we had outstanding on debt
:o) and have helped support 2 of our kids at uni. Pretty pleased with all that - but we had an exceptionally large dividend from OH's co - income level much higher than a standard year

Hi Pawlala,
No.171 with a £1250 payment for December.
This isn't my final payment for December; I'm still waiting for some money to come in.
Happy Christmas and thank you to both you and Hiddenshadow for running this.
All the best to everyone for 2019.Neither a borrower or lender be; for loan oft loses both itself and friend.0 -
Hi, number 105 here with my OP for December and my final one for 2018. This month is my usual £215.26 taking me to £2583.12 for the year. Meaning I am £83.12 over this years target.
Due to work done at home and less over time this year, have op'd less than prior years but really please to have been able to continue bringing the mortgage down, every little helps!
