Wehey! You’ve made it past the 25 per cent mark. That’s very impressive seeing as it’s 25pc of nearly £50K.

I'm going to set my next target for 35% which will be another £4730 - hard but doable - lets see how long that takes me - I do like a challenge
Every penny is progress so I wish you both all the luck in the world xMortgage - £2338.07 paid off Feb 2023 BTL 1 £51,089.10 £35789.36 paid off July 2025 BTL 2 £81,504.52 BTL 3 £77,497.020 -
Me again just popping in with the small sum of £16.35 which has been added into the OP pot today made up from royal mail claim for lost parcel (£6.35) and two NSD (£10).
So my total now stands at:-
£11896.42/£47300 = 25.15%
Not much progress % wise but still progress in the right direction
It's payday from the chippy on Saturday so that should give me a little bit more to throw at the debt and increase my percentage balance a tiny bit more
Hope you are all plodding along with your percentages and I'm not scaring you off with my updates xMortgage - £2338.07 paid off Feb 2023 BTL 1 £51,089.10 £35789.36 paid off July 2025 BTL 2 £81,504.52 BTL 3 £77,497.020 -
I'm still plodding and no it's not putting me off. Actually it's making me think I need to get my act together to actually get some posts along side you. Its been an Interesting few months and im currently at +. 0.79% as in the debts are up in the wrong direction. Oh dear. I do however have a plan and am hoping to be at 0.5 % paid preferably 1% by end June. And then obviously to for debts to continue to go down not up.Jan 18 Joint debts 35,213

I'm a bit excited as I received my first wages from my little chip shop job - it's only £86 but it's still £86 that I have worked hard to earn and it has gone straight into the OP savings pot.
So my total now stands at:-
£11982.42/£47300 = 25.33%
Its all starting to add up to getting me closer to my next one %.
Now off to see if I can find anything else to sell to FB marketplaceMortgage - £2338.07 paid off Feb 2023 BTL 1 £51,089.10 £35789.36 paid off July 2025 BTL 2 £81,504.52 BTL 3 £77,497.020
