#9 Another £33.99 for me today. Payment for March currently standing at £635.96
What are TT's?!

TTs are Tilly Tidies - named after Tilly on here, you tidy all your accounts to nice round figures - many do this daily and it can be to the next £1, £5, £10, £50 or £100, depending on your circumstances. I also tidy my mortgage payment up to the next £100 and move my little pile from my stash account to the mortgage monthly, while others go direct from current accounts to mortgage each time they tidy. It makes a huge difference, over time. And is rather addictive... (compulsive, moi?)

#43 Ryanair flight refunded for trip to Milan, £64.24 paid off, total of £1008.46 for 2020

I've entered the £64.24 for this month, just quickly checking: That's the first OP I've got logged for you this year, did I miss previous ones?

Sorry, not been updating this one, been updating my own thread

No worries, just let me know what you want me to log for which month.

Hi No 73 here
Another £15 here (March total so far £30)
I wish I had the funds to make some of the big payments you guys make but just little old me with one a wage so I'll just keep plodding until a lottery win comes along, oh no you need to buy a ticket silly me!

#8 reporting an overpayment of £606.59 for March, taking my remaining mortgage to exactly £999.

That's my last 'normal' OP done, so three months of just the standard £290 payment to go, then will be back to report a final payment of around £130 to clear it in mid June when the early-redemption charge expires. Total overpayments since I took out a £188k (and a bit) mortgage almost 7 years ago are £119,283.19, which means I'm done about 11 1/2 years early. Thank you one and all for the support along the way

HI all,

I decided to raid my council tax jar (I normally save up during the year to pay for the next year in full) but I've decided I'd rather just pay it monthly with everything else. Therefore number 97 checking in with another OP of 406.78 making a March total of 509.39.

Thanks
