    Hi Julicorn,  number 90 here.  I’ve just made an overpayment of £300 taking August to a total of £890!  Slight cheat really as we have been paid early due to bank holiday Monday but it will save me a few pennies at the bank 😁

    Looks like you've hit your target, congratulations! Would you like me to leave it as is or increase it for the next few months? :)
  • MFW # 154 checking in a trifle early with Sept OP of £273.00
    Last month's OP meant the mortgage provider reduced my monthly amount (which I didn't want) so I've now had to create a fixed monthly OP to take my payment back to what it is! Not sure if I should be counting that as an additional OP or not.  :s

    Another £50.07 for me today, taking me to 599.39 for this month :) Not as much as I would like, but every little helps!

  • Hi all, no 134 here with a payment of £7k in August (the £2k normal one plus used £5k savings which were earning less than the mortgage rate). This has definitely got me motivated :) Thanks Julicorn

    Absolutely count that as an additional o/p!  I would. They want you as a customer for as long as possible, you are shortening your time with them by o/p-ing and having to create a new fixed monthly o/p.   Well done on noticing their cunning ploy to keep you with them.  Just make sure it does not take you over any 10% o/p limits, or whatever your product has.
