Great news Cherryfudge; and all the best with achieving your next target with increasing pension contributions. I’m trying to do both mortgage overpayments and increasing savings/investments/pension at the same time so will still be a while yet until my mortgage balance shows a zero amount.#21 here reporting a £1,001 reduction in the mortgage for March. Thanks,2
