Finally set up my standing order

After months of procrastination, I've finally set up my standing order for £50 per month to overpay on the mortgage. I'm starting with a small amount and will hopefully be able to increase the amount once I get back to work (on maternity leave at the mo).

Finally made that first step - woohoo :j

    Well Done You :)

    The magical point is when the monthly interest is less than the capital paid !!

    Then you can really see it starting to tumble :)

    Good luck and stick with it ;)
