    Likely to be a bit of a go slow for a little while now as savings opportunities are a bit lumpy :)

    Do you have room for a late-comer please? I've not been on this thread in previous years but have been op-ing my mortgage. Total left to pay is £11,151.71, not counting interest of around £40 a month.

    Aiming to OP £3,000 by the end of 2018, i.e. £300 a month on average. My income varies a bit but we have a big holiday coming up in September and there's that little thing called Christmas too (though I still managed about £300 extra in December last year)... anyway I am saying my repayments will not be steady!

    2024: Trainers 5, dress 7, slippers 5, 2 prs socks (gift) 2, 3 prs white socks 3, t-shirts x 2 10, 6 prs socks: mostly gifts 6, duvet set 7.5 = 45.5/68 coupons
    20.5 coupons used in 2020. 62.5 used in 2021. 94.5 remaining as of 21/3/22

    Hi could I join please? I am in the final stages of buying my house which I expect to move into next month. As my first mortgage payment will be in April can I join from April onwards?

    Target for this year is £1,200

    Many thanks

    Soooo late to the party as always! Please can I join for 2018 with a target of £3k?

    Last year I was rubbish at updating but did overpay £5k. I promise to be less rubbish this year!

    Plus massive thanks to hiddenshadow for looking after the thread fur another year.

    Welcome! You're back again as #49.
  • Hiya, Can I join this please? Would love to pay off my mortgage in 10 years which would need overpayments totalling £9600 for 2018. Since it's nearly March and I haven't overpaid anything yet though and no idea how I'm going to get that much extra a month, I think £3000 is actually doable so can that be added as my target please?....and fingers crossed I'll smash it!!

    Welcome! You're #29. :)
