    Quick update: OH agreed to pay last 890 of 0% credit card bill (bill was for joint purchases) so I won't need to draw down from the OP reserve- excellent! I think I'll stick to the basic £160 direct debit OP for the next couple of months and see how it goes. Christmas to pay for now..... and my current account is empty- still payday next week ;) .
    2016 MFW OPd £2000, 2015 MFW OPd 3000 then bought new bigger house with bigger mortgage.
    MFW OPd 2014 £2000 2013 £9700 2012 £2848.39 2011 £2509.58 2010 £11000 2009 £112002008 £4939 :D

    Well, the regulars in this thread may have spotted by now that I tend to make 1 post each month to this thread.

    Have an automated overpayment of £500 being collected on the first of the month. At 10 months into the year, we've paid £5,000 and we're bang on target (for once) to hit the £6,000 that was set at the start of this challenge.

    Everyone seems to be doing so well - some big overpayments being posted!

    Off to fill in the update form for October...

    Financial Bliss.

    No 15 reporting in made overpayment of £300 to part 1 and £240 to part 2 of the mortgage. I have beat my target only cause I had extra money from the endowment I cashed in and still am slow feeding this into the mortgage for several more months - but it was officially allocated to my 1st flat so using some of it for this house to get the high mortgage down a bit over the next few years.

    Overpayments 2006-2009 = £11985; 2010 = £6170, 2011 = £5570, 2012 = £1290

    Missed my OP this month boo hoo. Had a few things to pay for, so had to skip it this month. Back to normal in November though. Also booked a long weekend in Norfolk commencing Nov 5th so been a bit naughty!
