    Hi @julicorn I am not going to update the balance as there is nothing to report for April as I am out of work, however I have two job interviews next week...so fingers crossed I get something and soon, so I can turn it around. Thank you XX
    All the best for your interviews, and thanks for letting me know :)

    Update submitted. Slow progress but I really like the longer term aspect of this challenge to help me focus on my goals.
    Thank you for running the challenge @julicorn.

    I am behind too but am tracking the end of the journey rather than early on at the moment.

    Have submitted my July update form - for job security and holiday plan reasons am reducing OPs for the next 6 months so won't be making any more till August now.
    Just pleased we can still tick along with our current OPs and hopefully keep on target.

    Thanks @julicorn

    July update sent. 
    We were showing as behind as I’m paying OPs into a saver, so we will jump later in the year. I did make a £400 OP direct to the mortgage yesterday to get us under £80k, so was pleased this morning to plug in a value starting £79…
    good luck take 7ers x
