#95 reporting with £2k for December. Apologies for not keeping the posts updated as I should have done on the forum I believe that I have surpassed and exceeded my target - I think I had a very fortunate year, with stable income and not many unexpected big emergency outgoing.
Reading the forum and peoples diaries has been great motivation and huge congratulations to those who became mortgage free! Cant wait to continue the journey next year.

#6 reporting - I OP'd £50 in November and £100 in December. So still a way off my target unfortunately. However, I've prioritised savings over OP's so we are in a much healthier position there and I had to spend 1K on fixing my car last month. Sigh.Reduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £2.36 July 25
