Hello all!
July OP total: £510
Total OP for 2010 so far: £9345
MFW 2010 #52 Overpay Target £10000
We're off camping Wednesday for four nights- praying for sunshine!
Once we're back I'll make an overpayment for August which should take us to the £10000 target. Trying not to spend much money this Summer since OH still not found a job for September. :eek::eek:
There may be no OPs after that. Still if he does find a job---- we'll exceed the target. Thinking positive!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:2016 MFW OPd £2000, 2015 MFW OPd 3000 then bought new bigger house with bigger mortgage.Beautiful boys born May 2011 and October 2013

Dagnamit! When can I move? Been held up by the mining search but hope to complete next week.
Mortgage pig -£6
Pledges for my daughter's sponsored trip to Tanzania - £2k! Need to focus on the Op's a bit more!
I've found some outwork - putting rubber valves in pipe connectors. Very boring but could earn an extra £50 a week!
Also talked to my boss at the charity and he's going to give me all the extra driving he can. That could be £4K a year tax free!
I did do £4k a couple of years ago but I work full time now.One life.0 -
been ages since i updated. July op £140 total for year so far £1182.64.
I need to look at the whole op thing again soon. Its payday on Tuesday and we still have over £700 left from last months wages but I will be on Maternity leave about christmas so half thinking of bigger overpayments and half thinking savings.MF aim 10th December 2020 :j:eek:MFW 2012 no86 OP 0/20000 -
No. 177 checking in with July overpayment of £500 just been paid over the phone this morning. I thought having to call up every month would 'rip my knitting' but I actually don't mind especially when they ask where the funds have come from. In my mind I normally go through all the potentially ridiculous answers like I'm a hitman or male gigilo before saying salary surplus lol!!!0

Hi everybody,
" Come in Number 54 your time is up"
Sorry I haven't posted for such a long time. I've been plugging away making overpayments each month but as from August I'm going to have to re-direct the little surplus I have, and just make the miniumum payments against my mortgage for a while. So just to update and so Cake21 can include my payments in the year-end total, the following is a list of the payments I've made since January.
Jan 2010 overpaid 464.55
Feb 2010 overpaid 264.55
Mar 2010 overpaid 264.55
Apr 2010 overpaid 364.55
May 2010 overpaid 364.55
June 2010 overpaid 364.55
July 2010 overpaid 364.55
Total 2451.85 :jwhich has exceeded my goal of 2010 so I'm really pleased. A little sad that I can't continue just at the moment but hopefully we'll turn it around and fingers crossed I'll be back before the end of the year.
Good luck everybody, and well done with your achievements so far.:T0 -
