    £210.66/£1,0.67.50 - an OP of £114.12 today and a further cheeky OP of £7.09. Made up of initially rounding to make the mortgage figure end 00.00, then OP's from a Prolific, topcashback and quico payout. 
    Put's me at 19.7% towards my target...which means I'm on target to reach my 0.5% goal! :smiley:  
    Reduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £2.36 July 25
    % of house owned/% of mortgage paid off. July 25 - 38.82%/31.66%

    I'd like to join for 2021 please, my 1% is £1625. 

    I've had to give up work due to ill health so we're living on my lovely OH's salary and will need to stretch every penny to manage the 1%, but I do love a good challenge!

    In my dreams we will get to 1% then aim for 2% and even 3, this year. Who ever said that the impossible is really impossible!
    2022. 2% MF challenge. £730/3000
  • I'd like to join for 2021. My 1% is £665.00.
