    74 reporting in with a payday overpayment of £1,124.83, bringing the year to £8,331.22.

    My target was a little over £12k, so am 2/3 of the way there at the half year mark :)

    Would love to know where everyones overpayments are coming from - if only to ensure I'm not missing a trick!!!

    Thanks as always Lomcevak,
