    Happy 1st June everyone. #90 with an overpay of £200 for June (so far!). It’s amazing to see just how much money we are all overpaying; I’m sure the mortgage companies are not very keen on this forum!

    #45 here Julicorn.

    My 1st of the month OP - just getting rid of those pesky odd numbers when the interest payments get added on - a cheeky little £31.05 to kick us off.

    Jan - £205.34
    Feb - £260.11
    March - £189.21
    April - £119.60
    May - £194.19
    June - £31.05 so far.......


    YTD - £999.50


    I'll be back in the middle of the month with my usual OPs which should tip me just over 50% of my target :D



    Huge thank you Julicorn - you do a fantastic job keeping the spreadsheet updated. I'm sure I'm not alone in appreciating how much work you actually do behind the scenes. ;)

    #106 here with the first payment for June of £1,400. Thanks Julicorn and to everyone else posting their updates. As a newbie doing their first year of these MSE challenges, I find this a great motivational boost to save and to pay down as much, and as quick, as possible.

    June total: £1,400
    2019 total: £9,003 / £20,000

  • The figures so far this year are utterly astonishing! We are almost half way through already. I can’t believe it!

    #56 reporting in for June - £781.27 overpayment standing order for June went out yesterday on track to make my maximum overpayment for 2019/2020 of around £9250 in September when my new mortgage year starts! Then I will continue squirrelling money for September 2020 :-) I cant wait to come off of my fix to pay what I want as and when I am able to :-)
