    Hi baby steps I am looking to overpay a similar amount. Although may not seem like much it really does help when you consider the long term and hoping that I won't miss the money.

    With adding up loose change in piggy bank etc have already made my target so that's good news for this month.

  • A friend of mine shared this with me when I really had to fight hard for something a few years ago. Thought that you might find some encouragement from it!
