    I think I have made sense of the mess the bank made by not actioning the DD for my mortgage! It's meant going back through all this year's payments and sorting out what was standard payment and what was OP, and the figures pre-DD disappearance for some reason don't tally with the spreadsheet so please can you readjust those too?

    Here are my total overpayments for the year so far:
    January £483.43
    February £270.10
    March £0 :(
    April £578.84

    Running total £1,332.37/3770

    I haven't reached the expected end of the smallest subaccount yet but am hoping to do so in May.

    Thanks!

    Hi everyone, I'm the new kid - hope it's not too late to join? We only got a mortgage in December and I've just made my first overpayment, really hoping not to be paying this off in 25 years time!

    Overpayment goal for this year: £7.5k (might as well try!)
    Overpayment for this month: £900
