    Hi Juliecorn

    Thanks for taking it on again. Can I stick with 88 please.

    I have not overpaid since September so will have to up my game in 2019.

    I managed to get down to 5 figures last year though which is / was a major milestone.

    I will keep my yearly total at £17000 which is 10 lots of £1700

    I made 8 last year which totalled £13,600


    Sorry for going on!!!!!

    Hi runninglea, that's perfect, thanks for letting me know :)

    Thank you for adding me!

    Presenting a shiny new signature :D:rotfl::T

    Let's do this!

    So shiny, I love it! :heart2:
  • Hi Julicorn

    Thank you for running the thread for the coming year :T:T:T

    If possible I'd love a lower number on the spreadsheet as its awkward to scroll on my phone. If this is not possible, that's fine just happy to be part of the 2019 challenge.

    We're really hoping to kick it up a notch this year and we'll have a chat about figures and get back to you with the numbers.

    Thanks again Julicorn

    Hi teameffort! No worries, the lowest number currently available is #95, so I've given you that one. It may be the case that a few lower numbers get freed up if some of last year's participants don't want to take part again, but I thought I'd give everyone until end of January to confirm. :)

    Thanks Julicorn #95 it is :D

    If any lower numbers free up let me know and I'll update my signature, either way no worries.

    We've had a chat and our goal for 2019 is £9600. This will take us under the £80k mark by the end of next year, which is really exciting.

    Thanks again Julicorn and happy overpaying everyone!!!

  • Hi Julicorn

    Thanks for agreeing to do the honours in 2019.:A
    Please could I keep #169 and I'm going to aim for £8,000 in 2019. I'm going to aim to save £6,000 as well, but this does not need recording on here, just feel the need to save as well as overpay for contingency.
    Blitz that mortgage
    Jun 2016 £152,000
    April 2021 £85,000

  • Hi

    Am new to the mortgage-free board. Addicted to overpaying things now and need to keep up motivation.

    Going to aim for £10000 overpaid on mortgage on 2019!

    Thanks,
