    Happy New Year to all!
    My overpayments were derailed mid-2019 due to my son's wedding and various unexpected expenses. I didn't make my target, but I was able to overpay a little, so I'm content with that. Progress is progress. I'd like to join in again please, Julicorn, could you set my target to £2000 for this year, please? Thank you :)
    Of course, great to have you on board again :) I've given you #95.

    I appear to have overpaid again, oops! So much for waiting until February. £152.28 for #65 please.
    Busy remortgaging to a 5 year fix at 1.79% and dropping another 2 years off the term. I will be mortgage free (worst case scenario) in 16 years. Playing with the overpayment calculator is such a motivator.

    Welcome to the challenge. You're #98 :)
  • Hi,
    Sorry for the slow join. I was #79 last year however I completely failed on reaching my target (mainly due to change in priorities for any extra money).
    I’d like to join again with a more manageable target of £500.
    Thanks in advance.
  • made another OP to cover the savings on wine I have not drunk this week :money:
