    I'm a newbie to this challenge and would like to join in please.

    £50,000 please (not a typo!) We have an endowment for our first house maturing on 01/01/24 which is on track to pay out £32k - £33k with my husband's wage paying the rest. By the 1st Jan we should be down to a 5 figures so halving it in 2024 will be amazing.

    Thank you for doing this.
    A warm welcome to the challenge! You've got #45 :)

    Hi @julicorn .
    Please can I join for 2024. Target of £24000. I've had a few years off but now ready to hunker down and get it paid off before our great rate shoots up.
    Absolutely, welcome on board! You've got #50 :)

    Hi @julicorn, could I join for the first time please?  We’ve been paying a healthy £400+ off the mortgage each month since we moved almost 3 years ago but have just scaled that back to about £100 in the last few months to help with COL cash flow.  Ideally we’d like to increase again this year so I’m going to set a target of £2400 and see how we go with that.  Many thanks, Custard. 
    Thanks for joining! :) #68 is all yours.

    Please can i join again - i was #13 last year. Not usually superstitious but 2023 has been awful, ending with redundancy so I would like a clean slate - new number please if possible.

    The rates on my mortgage are now increased and the interest is £808.80 per month - so despite not yet having a new job I am going to aim to at least cover that, so my target is (gulp) £9705.60.

    Wish me luck lol!

    Of course, and best of luck for 2024! I've given you #71 :)

    Hi Julicorn, I'd like to join again this year with a target of £4500. I was #60 before but am happy to move to a lower number if there are any available
    #13 has just freed up so I've given you that, I hope that works for you :)

    Thanks for posting his @julicorn - please could I have a target of £1,200 for 2024? Happy to move to a smaller number or stick with 61 - whatever works.
    I've kept you at #61 for now, but I reckon lower numbers will free up beginning of January so if you'd like a lower one then just let me know. Same for you @FlacosFloozie :)

    Hi @julicorn please can I be included with a target of £6k mortgage overpayments for 2024. Happy with whatever number helps fill a spot on the spreadsheet  :)  
    I've kept you at #40 for now, but lower numbers are likely to free up on the 1st of January if you'd like one then :)
