    HS hasn't updated since the beginning of June but was then in the process of selling a house so hopefully has just been busy with that.

    HS, good wishes from me too, I hope all's going to plan?

    Hi, no.7 here with an overpayment of £300 for June. Think we're going to miss our target for the year as I'll be off on maternity leave for the latter part of the year, but we'll continue to overpay as much as we can :)

  • Morning all.
    Number 162 reporting in

    June's op is in: £258.17

    Slightly under the target of set myself, but still on track for all my random 'keep me motivated' targets.

    Happy saving in July everyone -
    My mop pot target for July is £215.

    Wish.

    Total OPs for June = £59.82
    (and OPs for May were £232.73)

    If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to increase my target to £840 please.

    We're at the halfway point through the year (already!) and I'm doing better than I expected. According to my online statement my mortgage interest has been approx £420 to date, so if I can OP £840 during the year it means that the whole amount of my normal monthly payments will be reducing the capital amount owed.
    I appreciate that these are not huge numbers to some, but I have a low income so it's as meaningful to me as some of huge (to me) amounts others are OPing are to them.

    Thank you Hiddenshadow

  • Hi,

    Change of plans for us.
    We’re downsizing our mortgage by leaving the bright lights of London for a quieter life in the country.
    We’re restricted to a 10% OP for the year so please would you update our target for the year to £18,600 as we’d like to attempt the 10%.

    In the meantime, June’s OP is £3,000

    Thankyou

    Thanks!
    I've just been able to make another little OP :j so have updated my June total

    Only small amounts, but every little bit adds up :)

    It would be very pleasing indeed if I am able to OP my yearly interest, and very motivating knowing that the direct debit for the regular monthly payment will then go straight off the capital :)
