    Spreadsheet updated - i'm running the Brighton marathon tomorrow, so a nice break from munching pasta and being nervous :D

    kirstypark - please could you confirm your numbers, earlier you said "we made a total payment today of £754.87 to our mortgage" but then " i managed to find £15 to overpay today, so thats a total of £746.01" - is it not £769.87?

    Bluefire and sarahevie1- welcome both to the challenge, i've added you to the spreadsheet

    Am doing really badly with my ops, to be honest, the !!!! has hit the fan again, and I'm struggling to make regular payments, I have managed to overpay by €23 for feb, and €12 for Mar (big whoop, not!) but seriously doubt I'll be able to achieve what I'd envisaged at start of year. What a difference a couple of months make

    Sorry, good luck lomcevak!!
