... that takes me under the £125k mark now. Still seems a long way to go, but I have to remind myself that just under three years ago I was on £189k so it's pretty good progress - if I can keep up the current rate then i'll be done in six years, but hope to be a bit better than that


That is fantastic, Lomcevak! You've knocked off £64k in three years - wow! We're slow with overpayments this year because of other spending commitments but next year we want to get on it like a car bonnet. :rotfl:
We've just bumped down into £136k, but it'll be back into £137k with interest within a few days.0 -

#93 with an overpayment of £116 for May
Thanks Lomcevak
SPC #23 - 2015 = £319.60 / 2016 = £315.50 / 2017 = £490.75 / 2018 = £295.50 / 2019 = £267
MFW #93 - 2017 = £1942.84/£1900 / 2018 = £8591.23/£9050
MFiT-T4 #28 = reduced mortgage from £109,000 to £77,000

Hi, after my main overpayment, I've managed these extras;
77.33 refund from the energy company
80.00 birthday money (geeky but i don't care)
8.58 current account interest
50.00 windfall
so a further 215.91 to add to the previous 816.29
Thanks,

Spreadsheet updated - up past £235k in total now, so closing in on the quarter-mil

rasputin_thorpedo - is that update for April or May? I may have missed an update from you, but have £709.46 down for April and nothing yet for May, so not sure what the 215.91 adds on to as I don't have a "previous 816.29"0 -
