    #106 here (again!). Another £900 paid off the mortgage today bringing June’s payment total to £3,200 and over half way to the 2019 target. With a good wind behind me, I may just bring the total amount owed to 5 figures by the end of the year :) Thanks,

    June total: £3,200
    2019 total: £10,803 / £20,000
