  • Oh wow kittieviolet what fab news, many congrats :T

    no 81 reporting in an early March OP of £260 which means my mortgage has left the 30s and has (just) crept into the 20s :D

    Hi all! Can you add me to the challenge?
    I've just completed on my first home ever, and that crazy high number in the mortgage tracker page scares me! Not to mention thinking that the man will probably live on Mars by the time we see the final term of my mortgage.
    I don't have a plan for tackling this monster yet, all I know is that I want to see the term decreasing and still enjoy my life. So, for the time being I've set up a lame 25£/month overpayment, but I'll come back soon with a more ambitious objective for this 2018!
    GC £~~/300
  • Hi can I join please. My total goal for 2018 is £14,391.48 (the maximum overpayment I can make) and so far in February I have paid off £1550.

    Thank you!
