    #13 checking in with overpayment of £266 for May.

    I think that my target of £10k for the year was a tad ambitious - could I lower it to £5k please Julicorn. That way I won't be showing as 'Must try harder' hopefully...
    Original Mortgage: February 2010 = £150,000
    MFW #13: January 2019 - £126,155
    Current Feb 2020 = £118,013

    Number 76 reporting in with a further overpayment for May. Other half had a tidy up of accounts and the garden isn't being dealt with until the end of the summer so might as well not sit around not making any interest.
    Adding £2025.73 to May's overpayments to make a total of £6889.73 for the month

    I missed April but am back on it this month! I'm really happy to have made our yearly target. My partner has got a new job quicker than anticipated. It's on lower pay but will hopefully be less stressful! It also means that we can probably still overpay. I'll leave the target as is for now but may revisit it next month.
