    Hi everyone

    Sorry to do 3 months in one go Julicon, have been so busy with work, forgot to let you know!

    Not much, but better than nothing I guess.

    Will keep plodding on, although my overall target looks unobtainable at present, but you never know, I may have a lucky lottery win, ha ha...

    No.58 - 1k in October- would have been considerably more but have had a very large expense come a lot earlier than expected so plans have needed to change!

    Number 76 with October's over payments.

    £4550 this month. The interest rates just aren't worth keeping in the accounts so into the mortgage it goes.
