    #120 here. Please could you add £722.85 for July? 
  • Hi there!
    #30.
    Julicorn, could you please change my target for the year from £2600 to £1700 please?
    We've spent more money on holiday than expected. But I am happy that I had the opportunity to have a holiday at all this year!
    Now I'm saving the lump sum of £500 to make an OP in order to ask to reduce the term instead of future monthly payments at the next recalculation point. After that until the end of the year I will make OPs when/how much I can afford.
    Thanks!

    Hi all, 

    Can you please add £50 to #86 for this month. Only a little payment as I'm switching focus to getting rid of money on CC before we remortgage. It's 0% until next July but I'd rather get rid if I can. 

    Thanks :)
    Finally bought a home
    Starting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £189,497.12
    Overpayments since 27.03.19: £53,964.80
    Moving fund so far £2500 - Premium bonds £9,500

  • Hi, I know we're over halfway through the year, but could I join?  If so, my target would be £500 over the remainder of this year, thanks

    Bit behind target but it was quite a stretch. Thanks Julicorn
