    Happy new year folks, and happy OPing :D

    I have to go for the old-fashioned approach of paying a cheque in at the branch so can't get started until tomorrow, but the first OP is ready to go :)

  • Hope I'm not too late to join for 2013. Starting New Year with renewed focus and enthusiasm. Would like to set my target at £3200. DD1 booked to help list items on Ebay this afternoon - nothing high value to sell, but all the little bits of money soon add up. Have a regular monthly overpayment of £250 and whatever other money I can save to add to the mortgage pot.

  • hi, could you change my overpayment target to 6000, I had intended to pay £500 per month as that is the max overpayment i can make. Im also thinking of ringing up the mortgage company to reduce the length of the mortgage currently finish date is march 2015.
