Hi all!
Number 119 getting back on track here. Regular £400 overpayment made plus capital repayment of £2000 making total overpayment for July £2400
Still a lot to do if I want to clear it by Christmas but its getting closer gradually
Well done to you all in your quests to own your own homes!0 -
My overpayments are really small compared to some too but then so is my wage so comparatively speaking I'm overpaying as best I can.
Owt's better than nowt too as they say...
I agree with you totally. I am the only breadwinner and on minimum wage so my overpayments are a major percentage of my take home pay :eek:Mortgage Free as of 31/5/11 :j:j:j:j:j:j:j0 -
Number 171 reporting in for June with an OP of £4300. Was supposed to be money for a holiday but making do with a few days away with the relatives instead.
Good to see everyones progress so far, I have 3 pay days left until I go onto unpaid leave (on maternity leave at the moment) then we go down to one wage, but will keep plugging away

#37 here...
Me and the gf are now getting married next year, so our target of £4,000 probably won't happen. We are £15 short of £2500 and I'll have to put that in to make it up! After that any 'spare' money will have to go towards the wedding.
After that I will be back overpaying as much as possible, thanks for this it's really helped over the last year and I didn't even understand all this overpaying lark until I found this site. We have op'd around £6000 since last June and I'm more than happy!
Speech over... Thanks all0 -

108 reporting in after *coughs* "absence"
£92.40 OP for July
I don't think I am going to reach my target as have changed mortgage and shortened the term by 5 years but will keep logging OPs if that's OK.
Well done everyone0
