Just made another £50 overpayment - next weeks shopping money as the cheque will have cleared by then

Have overpaid by £91, this month and will overpay another £190 when the cheque clears. It finally feels like I am making some progress

When I started this journey in Feb 2010 my daily interest was £11.61 and monthly was £360.63, as of next month it will be £5.50 a day and £170.48 a month.

My next £190 overpayment next week will have shaved another month off.
