    Hi, can I just check whether this is your new total for February, or in addition to your previous overpayment? :) A month total is really helpful for me. 
  • Hi everyone (No 73 here)
    Please add £335 final payment for Feb (Feb Total = £505)
    Thanks for the updates

  • Sorry Julicorn..
    the £194.66 is in addition to my earlier small Feb payment. I can’t look it up right now and I can’t find a way to get back to the link to the spreadsheet on the new forum (without going back to post one page by page). I may be being stupid? so can’t do a running monthly total just now. 
    Thank you so much for keeping track of all this!

  • #124 - another overpayment of £3,000, bringing our total for February to £9,000. 
    I doubt we'll manage to overpay anything like as much for the rest of the year, but at least it's got us off to a good start.
