  • Hi Julicorn. I would love to join this year (first time) with an overpayment/savings target of £15,000. Happy with any number. Thank you!
  • Could I join for the first time please?
    Can I go for a target of £15,000 please?
    @julicorn can i be a massive PITA and change my target please?
    I had been thinking that it would be too fiddly to separate out my payment and overpayment as my direct debit is set to overpay. However, I think it is worth me consciously unpicking each month so I feel a bit more accountable.#
    Would it be possible to reduce my target to £3000 so it is overpayments only please?
    I am number 8

    #26, overpayment of £894.64 for Jan (oddly precise, but there's method in my madness to avoid early repayment fees until absolutely necessary whilst making total payments fairly round numbers ;))

    Happy new year!
