Hi,
I would love to take part again, presently #34 but don't mind changing to tidy the thread. We have now paid off our mortgage (thanks to the motivation from this thread) but need to replace savings that we used to do so, therefore I would like to set a target of £4000 to start with.
Many thanks

Hello!
I was #65 in 2019 but happy to take anything. I am currently remortgaging (bleugh!) and it will reduce payments too (yay!).
We are hoping to do an extension in 2020 with kitchen and bathroom, so I will put a conservative £600 target to overpay and hope that I will do more. I am aiming to be sub £90k by 31/12/2020 even if it is only £89,999 and a very important 99p.
So stick me where you want, and many, many thanks.4/10/22One Year Mortgage Free Yay!
