    Spreadsheet updated. :) If you're keeping your number from 2017 you should be on the spreadsheet, I didn't want to spam the thread with replies to everyone.

    Almost above £500,000 in payment targets already.
  • Welcome! You're #143. I like your 2018 starting number, though I'd be tempted to pay another £100.01 or £1,000.01. ;) 5-figures will be a nice milestone for you in 2018 though.

    Hehe I feel the same thou the mortgage is up for renewal in April and I plan to get that down to 99K. Really looking forward to dropping to five figures :D

    Thanks for adding me to the challenge.
    Emergency fund saved, we did it!!

  • Hello HiddenShadow,
    I'd like to join again for 2018 please. Can I keep number 39 if possible? And my target for the year will be £5000.00.

    Thank you so much for running the challenge again.

    Thanks hiddenshadow. If there's a free smaller number is it possible to shift from 84? My browser crashes when I scroll that far down on the spreadsheet.

    I'd like to give people until early January to claim their numbers from 2017, so won't know yet.

    If it helps, I'm happy to swap, not sure if 56 is any better for you than 84?
  • Hi HiddenShadow

    Crikey maintaining this challenge and trying to sell a home. You're not afraid of hard work!

    I'd like to join please. I'd like to be no. 80 if possible (it's my number from another challenge. Of course if it's already gone or wanted by the previous owner then I'm happy to defer to them.

    My pledge is: £14,346 (This includes my regular annual contractual payment of £2346)

    Many Thanks

    We'll see how mental it is to do all of this in 2018 - plus we're living abroad, for extra fun!

    I've pencilled you in as #152 for now, it'll be up to catslovelycats if they want to re-join as #80 for 2018.

    Welcome! You're #153. :)
  • Hi - number 88 as last year please - £17,000 which I didn't quite achieve during 2017. Unless I can find £1700 before end of December. Christmas bonus - I dont think so!!!

    Anyway - 17K would take me under 100K which would be a massive achievement
    Year 2019 (1,700/£17000mortgage repayment)Overall mortgage (71,400/165568) (44
    .1%) (42/100) payments made. Total paid 2019 year £1,700

    Total paid 2017 year £15,300Total paid 2018 year £13,600
