    So I think thats me done for January now!
    I've currently made overpayments of £281.68 against my target for the year of £1,530, so am at 18.4% ! :T

    I don't think all months are going to be this positive (but you never know!), and I may have to realign my target higher :D

    In the past I have just started a new 1% challenge. The nice thing is that your 1% total will always be lower each time

  • Greetings to all.
    I've made my feburary OP. Managed £163 or 0.33%

    So far, I OP by 0.9%... so close.. so close. Fingers crossed to hit my first 1% next month...

    Now I'm thinking about all those 1%'s I want to pay off this year!!

    Good luck with all the OP's this month.
    I've already started mentally calculating my march OP... upto 50 quid alrready as not paying for school meals this month ( i put 50 into the account each month but it was 52 in credit at the end of jan so don't need to put anything in this month)
