#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. 0 -

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.

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
