    Hi Hiddenshadow,
    I've just joined Forum and I'd like to join the Mortgage Free OP spreadsheet too.
    Can you advise me with a number and info to start please?
    Thanks :)

    Welcome! You're #14. :)

    Just need to know how much you want to shoot for this year, and whatever progress you've made so far (January and/or February, unless you want to start tracking from March).

    #149 Another £68 paid making this year's total £136. Frustrating as last year we were overpaying by 400pcm, but our situation has changed. We remortgage in a month or so as coming to the end of a fix. At least we are overpaying something, I suppose!

    I've reduced the goal from 5000 to 2000 to make it more realistic!
