    No 100 here just had a letter from the mortgage company saying my mortgage payment has dropped by £30 a month so upped my weekly standing order for my overpayment to £145 a week instead of £135 a week:):j

    No 100 Overpayments for August 14 will be £580

    Many Thanks for everyone's posts really helps keep me motivated to keep overpaying.

    Have been MIA for several months, paying off the last of our holiday spends then finally tackling the credit card habit - was paying it off in full every month only to have no money left, then putting it all on the card again! I'm convinced I ended up spending so much more that way too, but another month of tight-ish budgeting to go and I should have it sorted....

    Anyway, the upshot of all that is that I finally have the money to restart OP's, please can you put me down for £500 for August JCL, #111. Well done everyone on your OP's, have kept reading even while I wasn't OP'ing and you've been keeping me motivated!

    no 7 with my august payment of £675.17. we have just bought a vintage campervan and she's taking most of my cash at the moment, i think i need to lower my annual target. However, we have paid £14,259 in total to our mortgage in the year since we moved in, so pleased about that.

    No. 48 reporting in with July OP's of £43,146 (no, not a typo :j). Target met :T:T:T.

    Well done everyone :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Right, no 36 reporting in. Fraid i've got a bit of a shuffle to do.

    from Jan-April should be £252.44/mnth
    May-June £302.44/mnth
    July is £340.00
    and new for August... £305.00!

    seems i'd been doing a bit of rounding up on the OP's by accident. All corrected now on my spreadsheet. Sorry JCL and thanks for updating!
