    Hello, number 105 here with my first OP of 2025, please can you put me down for £500 please for January. 

    thanks again for running the challenge again this year Julicorn, much appreciated.

    This year will be taking me closer to actual Mortgage Freedom, as all being well, I am aiming to have the mortgage cleared by the end of 2026 fingers crossed. This years OP's will be stuck to the 10% allowance so is why lower again, but will then be ensuring any extra is put in a pot for a lump sum payment next year once my current fix ends.

    Hi can I join in please? 

    I’m putting money into savings rather than actually overpaying at the moment because the calculator said I’d be better off doing that at least until my fixed rate ISA finishes in September. I’m aiming to save £5000 a year for the next 5 years, which added to the savings I already have should give me enough to pay off the mortgage 7 years early 😀.

    Deposit of £400 already made on 2nd January.
