    ... 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 :D:D

    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.

    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,

    MvM

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



    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"
