A question about : 2015 mfw

Welcome to the Mortgage Free Wannabe thread for 2015 title=Big

This thread is for anybody on the journey to mortgage freedom to set targets and report progress during 2015, whether you're a brand new mortgage free wannabe or on the final stretch of the long slog. The challenge runs until 31st December 2015, and you can join or change your target at any time up until that point.

Links to previous challenges are here
2014 mfw
2013 mfw
To join, please post on the thread and i'll allocate you a number - if you want to keep your number from this year then let me know, I won't start allocating numbers for a few days yet. After that, it will be first come, first served. Then to provide updates or change your target, just post on the thread or fill in the form here. A few requests from me to make keeping track easier:

When providing updates, please include your MFW2015 number and the month you are updating (this is hopefully required on the form).
Multiple overpayments in a month are fine, but it will really help me if you keep a running total when reporting updates (e.g. ...another OP of Ј200, which makes Ј600 in total for April...)
It's fine to miss a month or two and then provide updates for several months in one go, but please make it clear what you want allocating where.
Updates on the thread can be as long or short as you like title=Smile

I'll try and update the spreadsheet weekly, although I juggle very busy work and family lives so may occasionally be gone for longer. I will 'thank' your post when I've updated the spreadsheet, so you can see that it's been added. And I'm bound to make the occasional mistake, so if I've missed your update then just let me know on the thread or PM me.

See how we are all doing on the big MFW 2015 spreadsheet here

  • Hello
    Newbie here. I would like to aim for Ј3500 but hopefully more if I can boost my income!
  • Thanks for taking over the reigns Lomcevak, I'd like to join again and my target is Ј12000. May need adjusting if career change plans come off, but no harm in aiming high to start...
    I'm #111 and would like to keep it if possible, but not too precious about it if not.
  • Hi I am going to aim for Ј6000 again this year. Got a few things needing done to the house which will make this a difficult year (again) but I find being part of this thread really pushes me so thank you!
    I was number 128 last year and would like to keep it if possible.
    Thanks again.
  • Some impressive targets already
    I'm going for Ј6000 again, and will keep #12 for next year
  • Thanks for starting the thread Lomcevak. I'm #86 and would like to set my target as Ј3,500 again please. Hopefully I can make it this time!
    Wishing everyone lots of luck.
  • Hello and thanks for starting this thread! I am still relatively new and am aiming for Ј2640 in overpayments this year (very specific as its a set overpayment of Ј220). Really hoping it will be more but we will see!

  • Hi I have always lurked but am going to raise my head above the pulpit and aim for Ј2500 op in 2015.
    (hopefully a regular op of Ј206 a month plus the difference to make it a rounded figure!) would love to add more in dribs and drabs but Ј206 alone is a big amount for us given our circumstances.
    Many thanks lomcevak for your work in starting this.
    Clarew
  • Thank you for taking over for 2015 Lomcevak
    Would like to keep No. 3 please and my target will be Ј3000.
  • Thank you for running this for 2015. Please could I keep no 102, with an initial target of Ј10000 to o/p. I haven't really done budgets for next year so may change it but it seems a nice round no to start with.
    Thanks
