    Right sorry I haven't updated in awhile. No 13 here - My over payment for March was £266 and the same in April so another £266

    As it says on the spreadsheet.... 'Must try harder'!! - need to get myself sorted and overpaying more.
    Original Mortgage: February 2010 = £150,000
    MFW #13: January 2019 - £126,155
    Current Feb 2020 = £118,013
