    #19 checking in £30 overpayment for January made. Hoping to add a bit more but January is always a tight month and I need to wait and see what our pay slops are like next week!

  • Hi!
    This is my first post and wanted to join in with the overpayment challenge. Could you add me to the list please? I like everyone's enthusiasm and great to keep motivated.
    My target will be £500 per month (I've already paid £500 in January)
    Hat might be a little tricky as I'm being made redundant in March and no job to go to yet but we will see!
    Haven't quite figured out what all your signatures with the figures mean! If someone could explain I'd be mos graceful. 👍🏻 thanks
