2019 Mortgage-Free Wannabes

Hi,
#46 here. Ive decided that my target for 2019 is £8,000.
I managed £11,515.16 this year, but I think next year will be a little more difficult. This will still result in a net reduction of over £16,300 when taking into account standard payments and then interest - so im quite happy with that. If I can do more, than great!
Let's see how this goes...…
Happy Christmas all!

Hi MM,
Thanks for letting me know, and well done on your overpayments this year0 -
Please can I join and go for £20,000 in reduction in 2019? I haven't done this challenge before and I don't mind what number.
I have been number 2 over on MFiT Take 4 that is coming to an end - I might ask Trix over there to give me the same number when Take 5 (sounds like a band) starts in JanuarySave £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)
OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I am at £1286.68/£3000 or 42.89% of my annual spend so far
I also Reverse Meal Plan on that thread and grow much of our own premium price fruit and veg, joining in on the Grow your own thread
