Well done on the OP.

Morning everyone. Just made an overpayment of £50 which leaves my mortgage at £17,749. I've exceeded the overpayment target I set of £2,000 in OPs for the year which I'm very happy about. My Sealed Pot for Christmas pressies was opened yesterday and I was happy to have saved £660. I've just submitted an update for the MFiT challenge and I've cleared approx 19% of the challenge amount. At the start of this challenge in January 25 I had £20,930 to pay off to clear the mortgage; so far in the 9 months the 3 year challenge has been running I've cleared £4,181 which I'm very happy about. I went back to using cash for groceries this month. I shopped yesterday for the upcoming week and do still have a bit of cash left in the purse. It is half term next week and I've got another 8 days to payday but I think we might just eek it out. Any cash left in the purse will be put into the next sealed pot and money left in the bank will be savings and mortgage. I will try very hard not to let half term and my son sabotage my plans!
