    Hi, am I able to join please? I’m brand new to this! I’m going to start off gently with a total of £2,500 for the year and will go from there.

    My current overpayments are £70 for February (none for January). 

    Thanks :)

  • Please can I join in!  My aim is to overpay  £1000 this year any more would be a bonus! A late starter but paying £160 this month - Feb. 
  • Hello, please may I join for 2020?  I'd like to set an overpayment target of £17600.00.  So far this year I've managed to overpay £2590.90 for January and  £2345.88 for February. Thank you very much.

    #9 reporting for duty! Another overpayment today of £20.01 taking my payments this month to £624.72

  • #129 just completed a NSD.  £10 op'd to the mortgage taking my Feb total to £2355.88.  Got a lift to and from work and took a packed lunch which led to the tenner saving.  Picked up some overtime for tomorrow evening which I'll hopefully be able to put towards March overpayments.  Welsh class tomorrow morning which DH is paying for so another saving there.  Homework not done though; some things never change!  Nos da.

    Hi all, #81 reporting overpayments for January of £56.41, so we're on track :smile: Total overpayments are now at over £250, which I'm pretty pleased with given how tightly we've been squeezed since buying our house 15 months ago.

    February has been incredibly hard financially so far (e.g. near £1k MOT/service and £400 invested into a new suit for OH for job interviews - and other things!) but as we've built mortgage overpayments into our budget I don't plan to "withdraw" from these.  Also, a little win: the first of our six 0% loans has now been repaid on time - the next one should be paid off in November and the next in December, which in total will add over £650 back to our budgets!
