Hello Juliecorn
I'm a newbie to MFW. Can I join in too with a target of £2400 (£200/month)? Thanks 

Of course, welcome to the challenge, and welcome to the forum as well I've given you #44.

#22 signing in for another year, target of £9400 please. thanks, happy new year!!

Hi @pawlala , I only held the old numbers until the end of December unfortunately! I've given you a new number now, it's #57. Thanks so much for taking part again

Edited to add: I just saw that @mark55man offered to swap if you're keen to keep your number, I'll let you two work that one out - at the moment, mark has #22, and pawlala #57

I'm game to swap - so lets just do that.  Given how many beans we eat in this household it would be very appropriate

Hi Julicorn, happy new year! I’d like to sign up for 2021 if I can. I don’t mind which number I’m allocated (#112 last year) and I have £1920 as my annual target 

Of course, welcome back! We just had some lower numbers open up, so I've moved you up to #21. 

On that note, if anyone is interested in a lower number, now is your chance

I'll take a lower number if there is one please. Currently #89
Thanks

#61 overpayment of 2547.28 for January. After using our 10% allowance by Oct last year I’ve been saving up so this is a big payment where the rest of the monthly over payments will be much smaller.our target is achievable and lockdown will enforce little spending for next month at least. I’m aiming for 500 per month as this may not be so achievable towards the end of the year.

thanks for updating.

Hello,
Please may I join? The part of my mortgage I want to overpay is the interest only element. I will have to seriously rework finances this year as have to buy a new car. My target will be a low one. My interest only element is now only 7,550 pounds. If I can overpay by even 500 pounds with the expense of a new car I’ll be delighted.
At one point my credit card balances were 23k plus and I had a loan, so I didn’t really look at the interest only bit of the mortgage, which was originally 20k. Now my credit card balances are “only (haha)” around 9,400 and things are under control. This terrible lockdown has at least been good for me financially
Many thanks
