I'm another one who's going to be struggling to make any significant reductions for the remainder of the year.
I'll just have to see what I can do
But chin up, just need to remind ourselves that what we've overpaid already won't ever need paying again.
Good luck everybody.0 -

Yep, this.
Sorry to do this Lomcevak but I've squeezed another OP through.
Siphoned off the top of my ISA when moving rates.
Another £94.
Thats £206 for August for #10.
The joint account is looking rather healthy and I can't figure out why! There may be another OP before the month is put 😀
Thank you

Hi number 105 here, managed to make a lump sum payment for august so along with my regular op this month so my August OP's will be £466.52, so taking me to a total of £6132.16, so have now reached my official £6k target for the year!!
Will still be trying to make some monthly op's (fingers crossed) as I am trying to now hit my 10% limit allowed by the mortgage co this year.
