    #53 My February overpayment is £583.65
    Year to date: £908.65

    At the end of January, 2 of my 4 sub accounts came to the end of their fix and I decided to let them run free on the SVR so that I can overpay them without penalty.  Hitting the smaller one first like snowballing. So far so good.

    Thank you for updating, Julicorn  :)


  • Hey, 
    No.28 with March's payment of £1751.20.
    Thanks a lots, US.

    February overpayment = £515.71
  • Hi there. This is my first post. Love the idea of this thread as I’ve just committed to trying to overpay my mortgage earlier this month, so it’s ideal timing! I hope I’m not too late to join. I’d like to commit to overpaying by £4,000 this year. I’ve already paid £2,150 in February but would generally anticipate my monthly overpayment being around £150.

    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!

    No problem at all! You should just be able to click on page number 1 if you're looking for the spreadsheet, but for now that's not a problem at all, just wanted to make sure. :)
