    Just noticed today that between 1/5/2015 and the 1/11/2015 my interest paid each month has reduced by £5 a month. That's £5 more a month to my mortgage!!!!

    That's a great interest change! Can't wait to hit such levels myself one day :)
    For the record I am dying for payday myself, it never seems to come soon enough!
