    #65 checking in with March overpayment of £93.27 to make my mortgage £98,999.99 because inside my head, that is much less than £99,000.00. I mean, it starts with 98!! plus the added bonus of daily interest having dropped by tuppence, each and every single day!! yay! Tuppence!! :rotfl: Anyone with a 'stupid little coins' jar will understand the significance of tuppence a day. :T



    Have a great day everyone, fabulous overpayments being made, and the amount we overpaid last month would have paid off my entire mortgage .

    It would pay off my mortgage and allow me to retire about 5 years earlier! :)

    Well done everyone!

    Number 51 reporting in with final total for February = £45.61. (An extra £2 coin in my groceries change late Feb ;)) I've just OP'd £39.93 to get started on March which brings me to a year total of £135.61. :D

    Hi everyone (No 73 here)

    Final Feb payment £120 to add (Feb total £220) Not as high as planned but ive held a bit back due to family member in hospital and extra expenses that brings (parking etc) so don't want to leave myself short can always add it to March
