More wages added into the OP savings account.
This time £62.92 from my BK job and £261.53 from my National Trust job so a total of £324.45 added today.

This brings my overall total now to £13527.58/ £81700 = 16.55%

Less than half a percent to go now until I reach my next full percentage  

I'm off to see if I can find a way to earn £363 quickly

Me again  

I've managed to add a further £94.02 into the OP savings account today made up of a £6 FB Marketplace sale and £89.02 from my chippy job  

My total now is £13622.60/ £81700 = 16.67%

Now only £268 away from my next full percentage - slow progress but I'm crawling forwards penny by penny

Me again - so sorry - I really hog this thread don't I  

Its finally interest day on the savings accounts so that has added a further £470.72 today. 

This brings my total to £14093.32/ £81700 = 17.25%

That's my next full percentage reached - slow but I got there by plodding along. 
Next stop 18% which translates into £612.68 - gosh that sounds so much to find but I'm determined to reach it by the middle of next month

Hi everyone,

I hope those debt balances are all going in the right direction for you all.
I have managed to add £677.13 into our OP savings pot today thanks to our subscription cuts savings and my Etsy earnings so at least I'm off and running for June.

My total now stands at £14770.45 / £81700 = 18.07% 

I'm creeping up a little bit at a time and am very happy to have hit the 18% mark. Fingers crossed reaching 19% will not take me quite as long

Morning all,

Pay day from Burger King today so I have transferred all £174.46 of it into the OP savings account.

My total now stands at £14994.91 / £81700 = 18.29% 

I feel like we are making no progress whatsoever at the moment but all these pennies must be adding up as my percentage is moving in the right direction albeit very slowly  

I have another £305 coming to me tomorrow thanks to chippy wages for the last two weeks so hopefully that will help to keep me motivated  by moving my total that little closer to the 19% mark

Petrol topped up for the bf - £50.92

£305.03 / £1200 (7th 1%)

Morning all.

It's been a few days since I last managed to add to my total but I can finally declare that I have added a further £435.75 into my OP savings pot today. 
This is made up of chippy wages (£350.75), a FB Marketplace sale (£10) and our additional rent we are getting each month with our new tenant (£75).

My total now stands at £15430.66 / £81700 = 18.88% 

I think the size of the task ahead of us is just sinking in but I am determined that we will clear these mortgages early so we can retire and start to enjoy life  

At least we have now cleared the 15K mark ready to pay off this second mortgage so things are going in the right direction - albeit a lot slower than I would like.

Anyone have any ideas on how we can find a spare £160K so we can just retire now

Me again - sorry  

I've managed to add another £48 into the OP savings account today thanks to three FB orders

My total now stands at £15478.66 / £81700 = 18.94% 

Getting close to 19% now and then the next step is 20% - we are getting there one pound at a time

Another £17.09 added into my OP savings account today thanks to another FB order  

My total now stands at £15495.75 / £81700 = 18.96%
