  • I am clearly not awake this morning, but I cant find the link to the current Chart. My view on the MFW board looks different too - have they changed the format? It looks like the old 'non logged in ' version. But I cant see the 'log in ' button either. it's all gone very weird......

    MFit-T5 - reduce to £140,000 MFiT-T6 - reduce to £110,000

    01/10/2024 Daily Interest - M1 = £18.27 (!!); M2 = £7.41

    The link to the chart is a hyperlink on the words 'Chart 1' in my above post MM (youve reminded me I need to add the link to the first page post)
    I hope you went and got a few more winks sweetie I think you're not firing on all fronts, I know I'm not most of the time

    It's also helpful if I update the chart title in the spreadsheet to the correct challenge number which might avoid confusion too durrrr, but just checked and hadn't done that for the whole of T4 without anyone spotting it. :D

    I moved house last Friday and took on a slightly larger mortgage so I need to change the starting total for my challenge, is it easier to take my restart from now? My chart 1 update is confusing my brain with how to do this!!!

    Ajmoney if you want to do a new starting value pop the form through, I can then input it and remove any chart 1 update if you submitted one so you can run from the next chart.

    No worries crv1963 I'll pop it in when I get on the laptop

    Hi,

    I hope I'm not too late to join this? Have never been part of a challenge on here, but I read the diaries regularly and feel like it might give me a little extra push.

    I'm aiming to clear my mortgage completely if possible... it's small, but then so is my income so it's still a huge challenge for me!

    January starting balance = £19620, balance as at end of April = £17910.

    I've submitted my form to register, plus a chart update for April - hope that's ok? Looking forward to cheering everyone on and smashing that mortgage!
