    #18 reporting in - June's OPs total £1604.10

    Thanks :)

    This should bring me to £2772.47 for ytd, against a target of £4000 - so I've not only caught up (had fallen behind) but also managed to get ahead this month:j (which I'm hoping means that I can exceed my target for the year)

    No 30 here - just totalled up for June and I've managed £301.86 overpaid. :) See below:

    Edited on 30/6/18 - I managed some more overpayments so my actual June total is now £486.36 which brings my mortgage into the £8,000s. £8, 999.98 to be exact and of course that will bump over the £9,000 mark tomorrow when interest gets added, but it's a psychological milestone so I'm happy with that. :)

    Like a lot of posters here, hope everything is ok with HS xx

    Just reporting another £500 payment towards my goal of £8072. :j

    Just another £4500 to go... slowly slowly chipping away at it. Looking forwards for the next few years was quite depressing :( to think that I have another 4/5 years of this until it's gone but then looking at it realistically, if I hadn't been doing this then I would have had approx another 15 years of paying the mortgage! :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Only just noticed that June hasn't been updated for anyone.

    Is HS okay?
