    Lomcevak I've done my usual disappearing act I apologise.

    Number 83

    I never actually called to make the overpayment in February so can you edit that to £642.54 (my standard op) then:

    March £642.54
    April £642.54
    Mary £2992.54

    Thanks and sorry I'll try harder to keep updates coming in (and actually call and make planned ops that would help).

    So current total is: £5562.70 so I'm slightly ahead of target. £46% of target.

    May extra OPs are: £128 * 2 Council tax free Feb & March, £76.09 I was supposed to ring up with in Feb & didn't & £17.91 to round that up to £350. Then £2000 out of my ISA it's better interest rate wise in the mortgage overpayment and I can access it if I need it.

    That's 19 months off my mortgage finish date now this year, 8 of those with today's overpayment.
    Initial Mortgage January 2024 - £160,000
    Initial Mortgage free date - January 2058
    Mortgage as of 1st February 2024 - £159,134.98
    Overpayments to date - £79.62
    Current Mortgage free date - January 2058

    I've been Money Tipped!
    #79 pleased to report an unexpected op of £900 this morning.

    Boss randomly handed me £1000 yesterday and told me he appreciated me and the hard yards I had put in over the past couple of months, call it a bonus.

    So £100 into my purse for treats (woooo) and £900 straight off the mortgage. It wasn't so long ago that the whole £1k would have been blown in a single weekend, shopping sprees buying cr4p I didn't need. Oh how much I've grown lol.

    Will be making another payment by the end of May as usual but will update accordingly
