    Payday today so £200 moved over as usual to the mortgage pot and an extra £6 from a payrise (woohoo a whole extra 30p a day, I 'm valued! :rolleyes:)

    Anyway, it has seen off 2023 :j :j So as we only have one day left of this month it will soon be exactly 12 yrs left to run even if I never overpay again :T :T

    Well done Benben, you're doing fab :T

    Can I ask you which spreadsheet/application you use to calculate where you're up to with your mortgage? I overpay little amounts every month and would love to see the occasional month disappear.

    Mind you, I still cant work out if my overpayments are reducing the term, or monthly amount :confused:

    Thank you all, I'm really pleased, I don't think there'll be much more this year, I'm expecting £70 from quidco but thats about all unless I manage some more matched bets or anything this month, but tbh, it will be an expensive month so I'm not expecting huge amounts. I also got a bill for £149 for tax due to my self-assessment :rolleyes: Its not due until January but that money needs to be found from somewhere too.

    I ended up having to stay for a meeting after school tonight, but its an hour I can claim back at some point. I also managed to post all the ebay stuff, the last buyer paid up this morning so everything has been sent off today, and the large bulky item has 3 watchers already :D
