Hi no. 128 with an O/P for Match of £568.75. Usually overpay so it leaves a nice round number but a slight miscalculation has made my balance £111,999.82. My OCD can't handle it :eek::eek::eek:0

#84 with an OP of £400 for March.
Will be away at the end of March so slipping a bit extra onto the account now as OH doesn't touch it. (Has said they're fine with me doing whatever as long as we don't struggle too much now).0 -

I hope it's not too late to join this years challenge? I've been a member in previous years, and managed to overpay our old mortgage by over £10,000 over the years. We have recently completed on our new house which means our mortgage has increased somewhat to £144,000So obviously I want to get back on the overpayment band wagon!
I'm going to aim for £3,000 OP's this year as we have a fair amount to spend on the house. Nothing structural thankfully, but still expecting to be at least £4,000 we will need to spend.
Have already got the ball rolling with a modest £100 OP for March. Had a fair bit to pay out this month so not sure how much more I'll be able to manage, but hoping I can find some money to make at least one more.
Good luck everyone!

Spreadsheet updated - apologies for the delay, work's been a bit mental.
Really well done everyone, March is our best OP month to date.0 -
Hi all
hiddenshadow just had a look at your lovely spreadsheet and my figures aren't tallying up in the YTD column they're still at £800 when the monthly columns add up to more.
Thanks in advance0 -
