Hi there,

Another late comer, is it still possible to join the challenge for the remainder of the year?

Just back on the property ladder and keen to get going with some OPs right away. OPs will only be small for this year... I'm currently studying full-time so we're down to one income, plus a baby on the way, and new house needs a fair bit of TLC... BUT, every little helps eh.

So, I'd like to set a target of £600 for the year.

Thanks!

#51 reporting in with £72.81 for May which brings me to a 2019 total of £291.08 out of my £500 challenge. :j

Mostly this was due to a refund on my Gas bill as my gas company cannot get my gas direct debit to vaguely tally with my average usage at all... even with a smart meter! :wall: I'm now convinced they have set my DD far to low for the next 6 months but oh well, another thing to keep an eye on.

#90 with a £10 account tidy up so that takes total for May to £260 :T

Another late newcomer if you don't mind?

Bought my first flat in November 2018 and started making overpayments in March.

Hoping to overpay the 10% allowed (£11,000) before the anniversary of the mortgage (5th November)

Paid off £1,237.79 so far, odd number as I'm making my mortgage balance end in 00.00 each month after the interest is added
