Lol glad u found it! Thanks very much. I reckon 50 quid is a great over payment. It's amazing how quickly it all adds up (and then u get the bug!!!)
Best of luck.. U got a thread?
Hey there - no, no thread for me just yet, just enjoying browsing and picking up some ideas on how to throw money at the mortgage each month. For the time being, I'm gonna stick to the £50 per month as a minimum OP, and I've also decided that whatever I've got left in the bank at the start of each payday (however big or small), that's going towards it too. I'm also emptying my purse of any shrapnel which is going into a pot and will go towards OP each month too. Small steps and all that. Feel pretty chuffed with myself anyway, this is my 5th NSD on the trot! 0 -

That is really good going! I have to get petrol every 5 days or so, so 5 days is really only ever my limit!Mortgage starting balance 2011 ... £170k today £1.5k
