    Good morning everyone!
    The plan was that I won't be overpaying until the end of June when my overpayment allowance renews but  Natwest took out this morning extra £999. I cancelled overpayments on the 23rd of December but it looks like the bank didn't process it in time. Ah well, this money was earmarked for overpayments anyway so I guess I'll have to pay £9 fee and just live with it.

    #56 reporting £999 for January
    @julicorn I noticed on spreadsheet that number 42 is still free. Would it be possible to move me up and I would have the same number for this challenge and for MFi3 challenge please 🙏 
    Yes absolutely, I've moved you to #42 now :)

    Hi I would like to join for the first time please. 
    My target is £8298 which I can't pay until my 10% renews on 1st August so I would like to have saved it by then.
    I do have some saved already.
    I have no idea what the spreadsheet is all about please can someone explain it to me ?
    Many thanks.

    Welcome to the challenge, you've got #20 :) Just let us know each month how much you've saved towards your target, and we can track it on the spreadsheet here.

    Hi all, 

    I'd like to join this for the year. My variable interest rate is about to rocket in May and I have decided to put all focus on making overpayments this year, bigger until May and much smaller after that. Hopefully this thread will help keep me on the right track. I'm doing this alone (well, my two kids are mainly trying to come up with other uses for money), so inspiration from others is very welcome. 

    My goal for overpayments is 8000.

    January overpayment has been made and it's 1685. 
    Welcome to the challenge <3 I've given you #28.
