    SPC #23 - 2015 = £319.60 / 2016 = £315.50 / 2017 = £490.75 / 2018 = £295.50 / 2019 = £267
    MFW #93 - 2017 = £1942.84/£1900 / 2018 = £8591.23/£9050
    MFiT-T4 #28 = reduced mortgage from £109,000 to £77,000

    Many thanks to pawlala for helping out with the thread. :A

    I'm currently dealing with health/energy issues which were/are limiting my after-work computer time, so it's super nice/helpful to have pawlala able to help keep the thread/spreadsheet updated. :)

    Hoping to still pop in and update (especially now that the backlog is gone - that was a bit overwhelming!), but even if I can't I'm thinking about this thread and cheering you all on. :D
