    I am in a process of remortgaging and reducing the term a bit.
    When I have all the numbers I'll see how much I can overpay. But I'm still aiming to reach target for this year. £323.21 left to pay to reach £2000 target.
    Great progress everyone, I enjoy to read your posts!

    Thanks Julicorn. Could you please increase it to £5,750? :T

    Nothing pitiful about that - I see you've already shortened your mortgage by two years, which is brilliant. It also equates to up to £8 extra overpayment in terms of interest saved. That's even if you never make another OP. :)
