Hi trix, looks like my latest update didn't make it to the chart, so I've just submitted the form again - hope that's ok! Balance is now £10640.

Quite a bit off my target but it's still good to see the amount which I have paid. Reduction will become quicker for me overtime with the snowball affect.

Oooh, well done everyone!!
Pinknsparkly, I'm only £389 away from target too, most annoying!
Still, I've rounded our monthly payments up now so we're automatically overpaying £80 a month so I'm hoping I'll catch up with myself eventually!

I am £3.5k away. When I set the target I knew it would be a challenge but I thought I might have been a bit closer than this. I guess I am in it for the long haul.MFW 2026 No. 7 £5308/£5000
