    Just squeaked in with a further £500 overpayment on 31st May, taking the May total to £993.66. It was supposed to be £1k but my OH misheard me and transferred half so I'm kickstarting June with an overpay of £993.66, with more to come at the end of the month when my regular saver matures!

    I managed to sneak in a mini OP at the very end of May bringing May to a final tally of £75.38

    Just made my main OP for June of £70.45. (Actually 2 OPs as I miscalculated the 1st one then had to add an extra 8p! :rotfl: Think that takes the prize for my lowest OP ever! :rotfl: )
    Well done everyone and thank you Julicorn for running the thread. :T

    Wow! Amazed to see that, between us all, we’ve OPd over half a million pounds in the first 5 months of the year!

    Well done everyone :T

    And thanks julicorn for your hard work keeping everything up to date :)
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    Hi No 73 here

    Just a note to say im putting my challenge on hold for now

    Ive just finished my DMP and have decided to save these payments for a few months and get my house in order re all the jobs that have been on hold whilst paying it

    I hope towards the end of the year I might have something left to overpay but if not 2020 is the new start date for this challenge

    Good luck everybody - I'll be back

    No: 33 here with June OP of £400 (YTD £2400). As usual I will be working extra hours over the next few weeks to cover staff holidays, so planning on making higher OPs in July/Aug/Sept.

    Hope you all have a good month and see you back here in July :)

    Continual thanks to julicorn
