Thanks for the well wishes lovelies
Madvix & Michael- I think we should pay £90 in the next few days and £90 end of sept as our standard OP's which should take us over the year for £2k (30/9/16-30/9/17)
Then it's all focus on smashing the 2017 target of £2150 if we can!
Sale of an old Walkman on eBay yesterday so a further £10 swept to the mortgage late last night. May struggle with a post office trip today though as movement is not good with the sickness.First home- Oct’16 until June’21: £170.995- Overpayments made £13,784 (25% extra!).
New forever home- Sep’21 £309,449 @ 2.05%. Plan to clear it before 30 years!!!!!!0 -
Monthly OP made now the bills money has been transferred meaning a great £ 161.32 OVerpayment made for August which we're really pleased with
Total so far this year is now at £1701.42 against target of £2150 so 79% of the way there wahooooo!First home- Oct’16 until June’21: £170.995- Overpayments made £13,784 (25% extra!).

Hope you're feeling better KK. I just signed into fleaBay this morning and there was an offer for a max £1 sales fee for up to 100 items. Thought it might be worth you taking a look to see if you have the same offer as if you have anything worth over £10 you can save some money, but I think it only lasts 4 days.
Well done on the OP figures - you're doing really well!Mortgage: Mar 2018 -£300,000 / Jul 2021 -£255,000 / Oct 2024 -£172,835 (1.27% Interest until Feb 2027)
