    Wow Cake - the spreadsheet looks ace! I just have 1 question and sorry if I missed this out. If I make an overpayment do I just PM Cake?

    Three options:
    1. fill in the form
    2. reply to the thread
    3. PM me (I put this last as I'm sure you'll all be OPing regularly and filling up my inbox :D)

    Just sent in the form to sign up :) Three years into a 25-year repayment so no MF day on the horizon. Managed overpayments of £1149 in 2008 and £1648 in 2009, want to do better than both combined so i've set a target of £4000 for 2010 (have a £500/pm limit, and Christmas spending means that we're unlikely to manage much of an OP in January, will go for a token something though

    First overpayment of 2010- £242.

    Our lowest since starting the OP's last June but i'm happy really because of Christmas, a couple of birthdays and an upcoming holiday. Now I know how to overpay online I hope we will make even more payments than usual!

    Good luck all.
