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......

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.- Mortgage: 1st one down, 2nd also busted

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!!!MFW 2025 No. 7 £1130/£1200

#43 sorry missed the update deadline, have now submitted it. Had a bit of a rough month will submit on time next update!CRV1963- Light bulb moment Sept 15- Planning the great escape- aka retirement!0

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- Mortgage: 1st one down, 2nd also busted

Hello - I'm clearly doing something wrong. I can only 'see' up to 47 on the chart even though there's more of us taking part - I'm No 49 and submitted my update at the beginning of the month. What am I doing wrong?

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!MFiT-T5 #52 - aiming to clear mortgage completelyJanuary 2019: £19620 ~ November 2021: £0.00!0
