i'm aware there are some diary links missing in the first post, I checked I could still edit it after the forum update and could however I'm now getting the following error message when I try to update and can't see any way to resolve it so can't add any further diary links, if anyone has any ideas please let me know
{ "Code": 422, "Exception": "type is required.", "Class": "Garden\\Schema\\ValidationException" }

& so we arrive at Chart 5 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vT7_iBtro73POeGWDqn2ULTbvACQBJacAwrnaaJShhkPdCJ-6sIGTiP3BpLIW6WTKPkQnrS-p4_-VBm/pubhtml?gid=9&single=true

(having editing issues, despite being able to edit and make a correct link for chart 5 on the first page a new post with the same code copies across is having absolutely none of it here)

I can't help with the first issue but maybe message one of the Boards' Guides - elsiepac who looks after the old-style grocery challenge is an IT bod and occasionally mentions things that are limitations now, that weren't before.

Re posting the link - I have found if I write the words (Chart 5 in this case) in the sentence and then highlight it with the chain thing - I can post it that way but only once - the second time it gets its' knickers in a twist - or is that me?

You my dear are an absolute star, thank you
Chart 5

Number 44 checking in, new balance is £103,094. Almost back to a 5 figure mortgage after borrowing almost £50k for an extension. Thankfully we are keeping up most standard overpayments in these difficult times.

Hi. Sorry I’m late. Number 60 reporting. £135,000 left to pay-I can only scroll back one page at a time for some reason.

Just sent in my update for July - a bit earlier than I had expected but didn't see the point in waiting when my mortgage balance is  a nice round £0 
DH's furlough turned out to be comfortable and with a few extra savings etc we have been able to pay off the final £1400. Mortgage free 10 years and 7 months early and hit my target of before I turn 40 (3 months to spare  )

  CONGRATULATIONS! That's absolutely incredible news, you must be feeling over the moon! And definitely gives you another reason to celebrate hard on your 40th!!!

That's incredible. Well done, it must be an amazing feeling especially with the uncertainty out there atm. I can't wait to be in the same position.
