Hi,
#9 reporting £825.61 for November.
Must start thinking about my target for 2019.

Hi All,
So far this month I have made a £100 overpayment.
Not as much as I would have liked but currently getting a new bathroom installed and it's sucked everything out of my bank :mad:. I will fall short of my aim to get £8072 paid by December but my actual date is 2/3/19 due to the anniversary of my mortgage... not sure if that is still achievable but nothing ventured nothing gained!
I would also like the same number for next year please! :T
Thanks all.....

MFW no. 30 with an op for November of £406.13. I would love to put a little bit more through and get us under the next thousand but I need to be patient as there isn't much room for manoeuvre this month and December should get us there.
Thanks Pawlala.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

#162 checking in with a final overpayment of the year of
£242.20
For the first time ever I've reached my overpayment allowance for the year.
I'd like to be 'in' next year too. Will know soon what my overpayment allowance and therefore target for next year will be.
Many thanks for running this thread.

I'm definitely in for next year please! May I keep number 30? Not sure about a target: this year's £3,000 has already reached £3,500 but my income is going down a bit so I'll tentatively try for £2,880 which is a minimum of £240 a month, down a tenner from this year's aim. Hoping to manage more though.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
