    Please can I have my target amount lowered to £500? An unexpected expense has occurred during the renovation process and it means I will be trying to stretch beyond my limits to make the £1000 this year. Many thanks!

    #37 reporting £95.79 for September please. We think we might pay off the mortgage completely next month as we have a bond with the same BS that matures in October and is rather surprisingly, more than the outstanding mortgage
