    #148 reporting an overpayment of £11,700.00 please. had a bit of a windfall :-)
    Now that is quite the overpayments, congratulations! Two questions:
    1) I've logged that on top of your previous payment for September, so £12k total for the month - let me know if that's incorrect. 
    2) You've far exceeded your target, hurray! Would you like me to amend it for the rest of they year, or leave it as is?
    ~148 Thanks @j@julicorn That's right £12k so far for the month, can you please add on another £100 OP I made today.
    I cant entirely recall what my target was tbh, I am just doing as much as possible so happy to leave it as it is :-:smile: 
    I am expecting another large OP next week as the windfall is being paid in 2 parts fingers crossed x

    Hi Julicorn, 

    No.28 with a further overpayment of £908.15 bringing September’s total to £1558.15.

    That concludes my mortgage. 

    Thank you so much for running this challenge Julicorn; it’s been indispensable when the numbers seemed insurmountable. 

    And good luck to all of you who are still chipping away at your own mortgages. It’s a worthy goal. 

    Now, where do I get my badge...?
    That is absolutely fantastic news, big congratulations @Urbanshyne! What a great achievement and inspiration <3

  • #36 checking in. OP for September total £824.42. Not sure if I’ll squeeze any more this month. But hopefully that takes me over my target this year. 

    Hoping to get a little more for 2020. Watch this space ....

    Thank you Julicorn 🎉
