    Hi team,
    £527.74 for #82 for July please.
    Thank you so much as always Julicorn for diligent attention to spreadsheeting!

    Hi,
    could you add £22 to the July total for me please - making it £547.74 in total. 
    And yes, extend my goal to a further £2500 please. Doing better than I thought we would be! 
    Thanks
    Bb x
    You're doing amazingly, thank you for the update @Brindlebabe
    Can I ask whether you mean:
    - increase the target to £2,500
    - (this is the one I'm guessing from what you've written) increase the target by £2.5k plus your previous £2k, so total target for the year: £4,500, or
    - increase the target by £2.5k on top of what you've already paid, so £4,905.51?

    Thank you!

    Helloooooo everyone, 
    Miss Pinky #15 checking in with a well overdue update. 
    My target was set to be the allowed 10% which was £8072 but I was desperate to get under the 20k amount so I paid an additional £4500 in June which has meant I had a £90 fee (2%) to pay which I raised through selling stuff on the 'book of face' so it didn't come out of our budget. 
    I am now loathed to overpay anything else as come March next year, my Nationwide overpayment resets which should work out as roughly... 

    Mortgage - £13k
    Overpayment allowance: £8k - Leaves 5k
    My overpayment fee then drops to 1% and I think I will just suck up the overpayment fee amount and get rid of the mortgage. In the meantime, I'm saving anything and everything that I possibly can so that I can have the £13k ready to pay, currently sitting at £6300 so almost half way there. 
    Thank Julicorn for your continued time and effort in keeping everything updated :-)

    Hi there, thank you for the update! Is the £4,500 for June on top of what you've already reported (so £5,000 total) or is £4,500 the total?

    Thank you @julicorn. I have been determined that we reach the target especially since we have to remortgage towards the end of the year. Can you please amend the target and change it from £6000 to £12000? Thank you.
