Hi.... I'd like to sign up if it's not too late... I have a target this year to o/p £2400 .However already 2nd month in and it's not looking good.
Anyhow Jan's overpayment was £55.73
February's was £15.57. (supposed to be more but need work on roof).
I'm hoping posting here may keep me on track more, or accountable.

Of course! Your number is 119. I also take from your post that you overpaid £600 in January, but let me know if I misunderstood.benten69 said:Hello, can I please join in? My OP target is £7200 (£600 a month) and so far on target even though we are only 1 month into the year.0 -
