    March ended with a larger payment of tax credits due to me now getting PIP, which meant another mortgage overpayment.

    April's balance is now £59,605.31. This makes the current mortgage year the most productive ever with a current change from last year's balance of -£4769.85. I hope we can continue with a few more ad hoc overpayments this year.

    I think I might ask dw to call mortgage provider and check how much overpayment we still have left. Undoubtedly we will have more overpayment left than we've paid, but it will be nice to know as we can then track overpayments properly in future..

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
