    Is it too late to join for this year?


    Mortgage at 1/1/18 was c£262,000 (not got exact figure to hand) and the aim for 2018 is to overpay £20,000 (helped by a large overpayment already made in January thanks to a money transfer of £10,800).


    January update - Overpayments of £11,705 (this figure includes an approximation of what the overpayment created by my standard DD is due to the slightly reduced interest each month - how do people normally calculate this?).

    Welcome! You're #9. :)
