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.

It is working fine for me on a desktop + firefox. Sadly it shows I'm yellow and £35 behind.
: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:

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 go0 -
Hello, on the 25th July my mortgage balance will be £64,218.
