    #38 logging in march's overpayment of £841.63 :T although I did consider reducing it as our car needs its MOT and a service, but (perhaps a good thing) the standing order needs to be changed about a week in advance and logged in using the card reader. So too much hassle :)

    Hopefully can still add to it with £co checkins which gives my lunch hour much purpose - and gets me away from my desk! Awaiting approval of my first attempt at the clicksnap. Hopefully it works. Seems I managed a whole £5 of extra ops last month!

    Wonder if I'll make it into the fab turquoise category :D will be good fun trying.
    Mortgage debt : -£17,000
    2019 overpayments : £23,000

    i'm a bit confuzzled about how to do this as i'm getting my offset benefits all muddled, however i went online and spoke to my mortgage provider and i think i can now add a portion of my regular mortgage payment as an o/p as it's more than we actually need to pay each month to keep the original term. definition of o/p yes?

    therefore, this month please add my first March o/p of £69.33

    I hope we'll have a chunk more at the end of the month.
    Cheers :coffee:

    Edit: ook....sorry i'm number #114!!

    I can access both the update spreadsheet and the 'see how we're doing', what's the error you're getting?

    'Internet Explorer Cannot Display The Webpage'

    it might be that it's a firewall issue i'm guessing.

    Morning, All :j

    Checked my ISA this morning (as you do when you're a MFW :rotfl:) and interest had been added a few days ago (how did I miss that? :rotfl:), so I'd like my first March O/P for no 36 to be £509, please.

    Whoo hoo! Back on track again :T
