Can’t believe there are only 55 days left of this challenge

Hi Trix and all. I've been AWOL for a while but quietly continuing to make overpayments behind the scenes. For some reason i can't get the form to work for me so can I put my rather belated October update here instead? On 25th October, my mortgage stood at a total of £191264.47

Your form updates came through fine on the 7th Dec pinknsparkly I've just transposed them across to the chart data so you're updated in the published chart now

This challenge has felt like it has gone by in a flash as much as its felt long and drawn out and far more than 3 years. Thanks to @julicorn for taking it on going forwards, hopefully once shes got the 2023 annual challengers set up she will start looking at the T6 thread

Oh my goodness I need to start thinking of what my new challenge will be going forward.

Well done Thriftyknickers, a enviable position to be in

One month left and I have exceeded my target  i’ll keep going though.  I’m already excited for the next challenge 

Merry Christmas to everyone and thank you for running this trix-a-belle

Merry Christmas everyone! I just wanted to say that I'm setting up a new form as we speak, and will be posting the new thread in time for the new year. Thanks so much again for running this current challenge trix-a-belle!

Morning all, and Happy New Year!

Congratulations to those who have paid off their mortgages in this challenge!

I thought I'd made an update here but can't find it so... we are mortgage free as at the end of Sept 2021!  (form submitted today)

I feel like we cheated  as we cleared it through an inheritance and redundancy payment but the end result is still the same, it took 10 years and 3 challenges to clear £166k.

I've been able to give up work for a while too which was my ultimate goal as it was no good for my mental health, now for working out what to do going forward   

Good luck to everyone going into the next T-6 challenge.

Congrats Shala_moo. Definitely not cheating I did the same, the peace of mind and relief is extremely satisfying as got enough other stuff for the brain to battle with.

Wow we have lots of eager beavers submitting final chart figures already!!
