    Hi [Deleted User], well done on your overpayment, and sounds like the end is in sight! Quick question, is this your April total or in addition to your previous payment (so £1,870 total)?

    Oh gosh apologies for the confusion :eek: my total is £1870, will make it clearer going forward xx

    Hiya,
    A bit late on the updating but thanks to some small bonuses from work for us both our March and April overpayments are:

    March- £472.74
    April- £516.06
    :easter_ba

    Our OPs will slow a bit as one of the furries had to have an emergency eye op last week (ouch for him, ouch for our kitten/emergency funds) and we’re getting some garden work completed.

    Luckily we are doing well against target so far at £2134.21 so far in 2019 so can afford a few lower payment months.

    Thanks Juliecorn for all the updating! Hope you’ve all had plenty of Easter choc :EasterBun
    First home- Oct’16 until June’21: £170.995- Overpayments made £13,784 (25% extra!).
    New forever home- Sep’21 £309,449 @ 2.05%. Plan to clear it before 30 years!!!!!!
