    I think you should ask Abbey to make your account a non-paper account before you drown under all these letters! Or ask them to send a monthly statement. You'll be suing them for repetetive strain injury sustained from having to open them all. :rotfl:With all these overpayments, your carbon footprint is going to be HUGE!!!:D

    Seriously, well done on making such a brilliant start - I have every intention of following in your footsteps, but I'm missing one vital ingredient. The money with which to do it!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Great to see you are hitting so many OPs; hope you are plotting a graph to capture this at home?

    Got written confirmation of my last overpayment, and have passed two mini-milestones.

    Firstly the balance outstanding has dropped below £57K (to £56,986.74!)

    Secondly the end date has moved from 2028 into 2027 (15 Dec 2027!)

    Was planning to send another OP this month, but not possible at the moment.

    Sent off the £150 I meant to send off in September today, got there in the end! I had to wait until I had enough money in my current account.
