Update form submitted with our last OP meaning our mortgage stands at £53,730.41. We surpassed our target my more than 6k, mainly thanks to earnings being higher through an additional job for me and a pay rise for DH.
Looking forward to joining the next MFiT challenge. Thanks for all the support and your work maintaining @julicorn

Morning @juliecorn,
I've just updated and although I didn't make the target I'd set, I've found the challenge very helpful. Thank you so much for running this. If you or anyone is running a T7, I'd love to join.
Best wishes,

Despite the last year not being very mortgage blasting I have hit my target for this challenge.
I have joined up for the next one
Total Debt May 21 £20,490.44 DEBT FREE DATE 29/7/22
Mortgage balance May 21 £177,096.19. Now £143,070.41
Mortgage free date. At start of sole mortgage = July 2042
2024 SAVINGS FOCUS - get rid of the car finance. £12,706.25 PAID OFF
2025 Savings Focus - 33.3/33.3/33.3 split; savings for house renovations (bathrooms/garden/kitchen; whichever collapses first), save for a family holiday (probably our last one!) and paydown/offset the mortgage. Total pot = £4238.563 -
Just submitted my final update.
I didn't hit my target of £57k and finished at £60100.63 but it is better than not aiming for anything. Ready and raring to go for round 7, let's see how that one ends

Hi everyone, I've just processed the latest updates, and you can find our final sheet here
One thing to mention - I got a few new registrations through this form this month, I assume they were intended for the T7 challenge. Please check the T7 entries I'm about to post in the relevant thread - you'll need to submit your entry over there for it to come through properly.
Thank you again so much to everyone who'd taken part, it's been a great three years with many ups and downs! It would be lovely to see many of you over in the T7 challenge again
