I know I'm late to the party, but any chance I could join the challenge? It's been about 6 months since I bought my flat and I'm finally in a position to make some small overpayments.

£50 OP made this morning

Will update at the end of the month with any further OPs made during April
Thanks julicorn :TEverything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the endQuidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur0 -
Number #28. March op of £80.42
A lot lower than I'd like but I have paid for my living room and dining room to be completely replastered, so I'm hoping the effect on equity (overpayment + price rise due to perfect plaster) will be the same as if I'd made a bigger op.
Thanks

Hello,
#59 reporting an OP of £243.58 for April, making a total OP for year so far of £309.48.
Mortgage became a round figure £53K.
I am not quite on target as I need to buy euros for summer travel, will try harder to OP after summer and as much as I can before then.
Thanks.0 -
