    #67 total OP for February is £239.63, not quite what I was aiming for but every penny counts.

    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

    #3 checking in with our March OP of £1000.
    Have slightly surpassed our aim for 2026 of £4100 with the delay getting the new mortgage but that is our final OP before it resets next Feb and we're already working on building that OP pot.

    Thanks @julicorn

    I last updated on Saturday, with a total of around £95k, so I thought I'd have another look today to see if we've gotten past the £100k hurdle - well, turns out you all posted some absolutely incredible OPs over the last couple of days!

    The total now stands at a whopping £124,306.82. Very well done!
