Thank you for your update! If you could include a month total, that would generally make it a little easier (year total is auto-calculated, but of course feel free to share that as well). Don't worry about in this case, but for future updates it would be fantasticMrsMouse said:

Number 83 here!!
A payment of £20 made today, slow and steady won't get us to £5000 overpayment by the end of the year but we are chipping away. We will hopefully gain some momentum now we've stopped booking holidays in our January blues.4 -

Struggling with the new forum but I appear to be able to access it at the moment so will make a small additional OP of £17.31 (making £67.31 for February) now and hopefully, if my interest calculations are right, this should bring my mortgage balance down to this month’s target amount on the last day of the month...
Hopefully, by next month, some of the new forum glitches will be resolved!
