    Hi!


    #46..... this month's overpayment to date is £342.59. Total for the year is £1230.59.....


    Daily interest is now down to £16.53 (from £17.29 at the start last Feb).


    Might be able to scrape a bit more at the end of the month - here's hoping. Would love to get to £400 this month.


    Lomcevak - final O/P for Feb was £168.42

    Sorry for the lack of update last weekend, life got in the way - advance notice that i'm on a flight to the states tomorrow too so won't be here for an update next weekend either, but for now i've caught up and we're up to date :)

    Well done all on some great OPs, large and small, given me a nice motivation boost when I was feeling a bit fed up with it all - as always, if i've missed anyone out or made a mistake then let me know and i'll fix it

    Durban - sorry to hear about your change in circumstances, hope all's ok and well done for staying in the challenge

    anna42hmr - i've updated your target, good luck!

    norfolkdream - it's getting very close, very exciting :)

    Mortgage Minimiser - I have you down as £611.14 for the year (£100.13 for Jan, £168.42 for Feb, £342.59 for Mar), not the £1230.59 you quote, did I miss an update somewhere?

    On a personal note, my standard £600 has gone out for March - my good intentions for Feb never really materialized, but I did boost things by an extra £177.79 thanks to a mixture of cashback and a few little savings here and there. I'm behind the curve at the moment, but like a few others I have hopes that it'll pick up later in the year


    edit: just realized that if I can find another £75 this month it will take me to £129,999.99 so another mini-milestone passed. Off to search behind the sofa :)
  • Hi everyone. Just stopping by with an op update total of £745.17 for February.

    Thanks Lomcevak. :)

  • Lomcevak, you are absolutely spot on. I clearly wasn't awake this morning when i posted!
