#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.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

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!!Mortgages Oct 2020: £308,283 Jul 2021 £286,600 October 2022 £253,456 MFW-22 #9 MFIT-T6 #350
