    #132 with £100 OP for March. Am feeling frustrated that I need to focus on my car loan this year over everything else but I know it makes sense. 
    Thanks @julicorn

    Can I join as I've just moved onto MFW thread today? Do I need an official number?
    Setting a small-ish target as we're in the middle of trying to change over to a repayment mortgage as soon as we can. If we can pay an extra £200 per month then that's £2000 from now till December.

    Hi Julicorn, 
    Could I please join the challenge with a target of £5000? I took part in last year's challenge but had to take a break at the end of 2020/start of 2021 to beef up my emergency fund a bit. I'm ready to get back to focusing on the mortgage now with a first overpayment of £500 this month. 
    Thanks!
