Hooray, my other half paid in our first 2010 OP today! :j £1K is now winging its way to our account (so long as Abbey don't !!!! it up as usual!).

We are miles behind our target (which was already very optimistic!) and we are also hoping to put some money into savings and pay for a holiday. Think I had better raid the tuppence jar!

Well done everyone OPing and trying to OP, keep up the great work!

Happy Birthday Lynn11!:beer:

Had a good month so far OP wise, we were expecting to have work continuing on the house so OP in January was cautious but it has been delayed for a few months so instead of paying our builder, money can go in the pot. May even reach £2K by the end of the month. :T

My final total for January was $1477.04 (in Australian dollars)

So far in February I have paid $262.70.

Cheers

Set up a regular monthly payment of £48, to round payments up to an even monthly number.

hi All
Just got my annual statement through -
Repayment left £15,316.54 Endowment left £7075 end date is August 2013, which is 18 months shorter than originally estimated - YIPPEE

Overpayment for February £40.77 which is £81.54 for the year so far.
If I get my payrise in April I'll up the overpayment to £50 per month.

Hello!
No. 107 checking in.....

February's overpayment has cleared of £1050 - :beer:
Also I've been looking at our finances and decided to up my target for this year to £20,000 overpayment - this will mostly come from saving accounts which I've allowed to fester in pathetic low interest earning accounts.

My plan is still to hit the mortgage hard before April (when baby no. 2 is due) - as, if previous experience is anything to go by, I won't be capabable of much when the sleepless nights start again!

Also trying to keep a lid on our spending - particularly groceries. We seem to spend so much on shopping compared to most. It's particularly annoying when my wonderful DH goes shopping and comes back with six bottles of wine which I can't drink

I've changed my target from £3,500 to £4,000 on the spreadsheet. Is that right?? Think we could aim that extra bit higher
