Afternoon All. We had an epiphany moment in our house yesterday. I've been wittering on to OH about overpaying the mortgage, even if its only by a little amount, for yonks now. Total amount of interest he has shown to date = ZERO! Anyhoo, he went to a conference yesterday and walked to the train station and back all on his own little legs. On the way back home he found £5.00 on the pavement. He walked in the door last night waving it in the air and grinning from ear to ear saying "A fiver off the mortgage!". Admittedly, I did then have to physically wrestle it from his sticky paws but I almost feel as if he's on board.

Have OP'd it this am along with £10.00 I'd managed to squirrel away. Total OP this month = £15.00.MFW Challenge 2019 - £2,420 / £2,420 - 100% :T0 -
