Oh dear people - everyone must be off Christmas shopping. It's halfway through the month and we haven't even hit £5,000 yet :eek:
I guess it's going to be quiet this month and next, but hopefully we can still improve on that

Well I'd better update then and add a few quid to the total!!
£2790/£3435
Which means that if I wasn't such a spendthrift I'd only have £645 left to clear which would be a heckuva lot easier to do by Dec 31st than £1600! Bloody me :rotfl:

Hi another £18.51 paid for me.
Really want to make sure no Xmas gifts go on any cards.
Good luck everyone for the rest of November0 -
Hi - I have managed to pay my dd to my car loan and also 2 payments to my mortgage since I last updated.
I have not done both the overpayments this month but since I havent updated for a while, both can be included in this months total.
Total overpayments to add on are £3,656 bringing my total to £13,251/£14,798.
There are several reasons why hopefully I can continue to overpay:-
1) Our twins are no longer on formulated milk and hopefully soon nappies will be gone which saves us a fortune.
2) The loan which I was paying finished earlier this year so £310 per month no longer going out.
3) My OH is back working, I work 8-5.30 and she starts at 6pm to 1am. This is hard work but we will see how it goes. It brings in an extra £600/mth with no childcare costs which is always goodYear 2019 (1,700/£17000mortgage repayment)Overall mortgage (71,400/165568) (44
