    #35 with a small £8 OP for a £717.36 February total. A lot of messages but I'll forget if I don't add ASAP. Let's see what's left in the current account at the end of the month.
    Absolutely zero need to apologise for posting lots of updates, they're fab! :)

    Think I'm on the final countdown now, no idea if I can clear the mortgage by end of the year, will have a good bash at it.
    I'm going through a run of, repairs, replacements and huge dental bills, was online clothes shopping today and have gone back to the basket and deleted everything but 1 thing, sale or not, next year I keep telling myself. 

    Keep going everyone.

    I feel you, I've got a huge Amazon basket, some things I need, others I can do without and I'm delaying the purchase until I need everything and remove the stuff I added to get free shipping 😭
    Hopefully you'll smash it this year and enjoy your cash next year, not far to go

    67 here!

    Not sure my total for last month was updated yet (or I just didn't update is the most likely case)!

    January total OP'd £183.40
    February total OP'd £133.54

    Total so far this year £317.56


    MFW 2026 OP Challenge Target £4000
    January = £277.71
    February = £239.63
    March = £347.00

    £864.34/£4000

    Little and often, that's the key. IYKYK
