    Hi Hidden,
    #152 here. Since I'm so close, I've decided to just smash it this year. So I'd like to increase my target from £14,346 to £26,100 and completely pay it off!
    Is that ok?
    Thanks

    Go you! :) I've updated your target.

    Hi Everyone,

    Hope you all had a good bank holiday weekend.

    Mortgage has dipped below £80,000 this month, now aiming for the next £10k milestone, there's just no let up in this mortgage game :D

    May OP £525, total for year £2070. Thanks HS.

    Congrats on the milestone. :)

    Can you please include your MFW number (78) in your future updates? Thanks

    Hello Hiddenshadow,

    I am jinxed, I am so certain that I signed up and have been updating my info... but here is No. 127 signing back on again.

    New target for 2018 is £5,500, as we have since changed mortgage and have a fabulous lower mortgage rate.

    So what have we paid to date:

    Jan - £600
    Feb - £600
    Mar - £700
    Apr - £850
    May - £400 currently

    So currently OP is £3,150.

    Happy OP'g everyone.
    Marie

    May is going a bit more sluggish than April, with a couple of bills higher than I thought. So far I managed to OP only £45, but I'm still waiting for my rent deposit to be returned (two months after moving out of rental!) and when it comes I can easily throw half of it to the mortgage and half to the "I'd love to have a new kitchen" found :)
