    I've made a few further OPs in the last few days: A bit of found change, £2 coins in my shopping, co-op points used (and the money I would have used OP'd instead) and assorted interest from transferring/closing a few current / savings / cash ISA accounts around to improve interest rates. (£347.71 since my last update)

    This will reduce my outstanding mortgage to £5546.36 by the end of the month and will knock a further 6 months off the term when it is next recalculated. :j Interest is now down 3p a day since the start of Aug to just under 42p per day. :D

    #51 Aug reduction total = £451.41
    (Aug-Dec 19 MFW 2019 challenge = £451.41/£1997.77)

    Thanks Julicorn!
