    #47 with my March OP of £92.94 please. Got told it was an "odd amount" LOL. Must sort out doing this online rather than paying over the phone, would be much quicker.

    Clearly whoever commented isn't a regular reader of this thread! :rotfl: Seriously, it's those 'odd amounts' that mark out the fervent over-payers, and those are the people who beat the odds and cut years off their mortgages.

    All done! Top tip: Your original target is still shown on the far right, so you can see how well you are doing in relation to both :) :T
  • #122 - March amount so far £70

    First overpayment for March just sent to the mortgage. I’m a little behind on my target but trying to build our emergency fund as a priority at the moment.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi

    #56 reporting an additional £162.51 overpayment for March in addition to the £250 which I think makes £412.51 for the month so far

    Thanks so much Julicorn. It’s great to have a focus

    Sorry it’s been quiet of late from me - my husband has been in hospital with appendicitis, 1 operation and a few days later and he is home and recovering. Hoping he doesn’t get under my feet while he recovers - he’s normally out of the house for 14 hours a day!!
