Hello all. This is something I’m thinking about doing but I have a relatively small 0% debt to pay off first.
I hope to start with £100 a month and then once the other debt is done, add those payment to it.
Will keep it low initially with a target of £1200 for 2020.
Now to sit down with hubby and see exactly what we have outstanding and how we can increase the OPs.No longer ...tobe! Married 20/06/13MFW 2021 #117 £5415.40/£6000MFW 2022 #77 £3740/£3000MFW 2023 #82 £0/£30000 -

At the moment I will overpay less so monthly target of £500 for overpayments each month.
Thank you for this
Welcome to the challenge! I've given you #91. Can I just confirm that you're looking at a target of £6,000 for the year?0 -
Hi Julicorn,
thanks for running again! I'm in. I'm #78 but happy to go up the list for a tidy spreadsheet.
Will update later with the goal, got a bit lax towards end of 2019 as lots of house reno's going on
No 70 can I set my total for 2020 at £5600 please? I am hoping it will be over this but will see how it goes through the year.
That's all noted, thank you all for taking part again!frugal_lass wrote: »Hi Julicorn,

Edited to add: You've all still got the same number as last year.0
