    Hello, we have finally! moved so I would love to join if possible please.

    I've made my first overpayment today of £1553. I'm aiming for 15k by the end of the year hopefully.

    If no.86 is still free that would be great as it's one I won't forget lol.

    Thank you :)

    Edit: Just had some cashback become payable so have added that to overpayment making £1723
    Finally bought a home
    Starting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £192,586.98/CENTER]
    Overpayments since 27.03.19: £52,407.47

    Waiting is the worst isn't it! There was literally no chain on either side of ours which is why I couldn't believe it took so long (5 months). I hope you move soon, it's horrible having everything up in the air.

    I should be used to it tbh! My first flat I sold went from EA valuation to offer accepted in 6 days and then took 7 months to sell!!

    Thoroughly frustrating. On the bright side I have a money pot which is slowly filling with change that at last count was well over £100 so thats my OP pot.

    #6 with my March update

    I have managed to overpay to cover the interest charged, my direct debit to round up the actual mortgage payment and then managed to pull together a further £500 from selling etc

    So a grand total of £741.43 which has brought the mortgage down to £25000 :j

    Hoping we can keep up this pace
