  • Very sorry, Trix. I was on holiday and missed the deadline for updating the chart. I've just sent mine through now. Is there any way it could be included?!

    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? (Sorry!!)

    TK I'm not sure why it's not showing for you it's working fine for me on my phone (android), I'll check with the laptop when I get home, perhaps try the obvious things like portrait orientation if you were in landscape or visa versa & try chart links from the previous challenges to see if they work ok.

    Violet blue, you're definitely not too late, got your forms and will have pm'd you with your challenger number once you see this.

    Pinknsparkly, no worries got it and inputted, did you go anywhere nice? & Where was our invites? ;)

    It is working fine for me on a desktop + firefox. Sadly it shows I'm yellow and £35 behind. :o :rotfl: Forgot I'd rounded up my numbers to the next 1k up for the challenge and consequently need to magic an extra £400 odd pounds out of somewhere before the end to actually meet my challenge... :think:

    Thanks trix-a-belle!

    Thanks for adding me trix-a-belle - very pleased and surprised to see I'm green already, I expected to be lagging behind! Just goes to show that it is more achievable than I thought :T

    I could not see all from the link in the body of the thread, but could on the link in the early post (maybe 5) - all working this morning though. Lots of gaps between 51 and 99 (non-participants but number 99 is the last row

    I am scraping together all I can to dip under £30k in time for the Chart 2 update. Very exciting!

    Made all the payments I expect to this month, so #6 reporting in with a current mortgage of £25,675 - a reduction of £16,777 since the last update, and £24,233 since the start of MFiT-T5. Almost halfway there.

    Sadly the big reduction is a one-off, and normal progress will be resumed from here on in. Ten months to go :D
