Hello all
#49 checking in with my third overpayment of the year:
£150 for March (sorry it's a bit late Julicorn).
Stats: Jan: £150/Feb: £150/Mar: £150
No more overpayments from me for a little while, have just been let go from my temping job, and have had to set up a mortgage holiday for 3 months until I get back on my feet.....
Hope everyone is ok in these troubling times, stay safe everyone.
Take care,
CS x

Number 20 here. I've cancelled my normal overpayments and diverted that too the EF which is not too bad at the moment but aiming for a bit more than 3 months expenses now. But need to keep the 00s at the end so plan is just to round down to the next 00 so £67.17 paid off for April.2020 Mortgage-Free Wannabes #20 £1495.03/£2760 OP5

#87 reporting in to say NO overpayment for the next four months I think. This month I dropped my hours plus DB is in a pickle financially due to the C virus. It will all sort itself out and I hope to catch up by the end of the year.

Miss Pinky #15 checking in.
Not sure if I updated you for lasts months payments... so......
March was £1072 and for April so far - £150.00
Like most people, I am being very wary of what I'm putting away to the mortgage and instead putting it in an account that I can easily access in case I need it. I am very fortunate that I am a key/essential worker so I am still working, but him indoors, he is self employed so affect greatly by what is happening in the world at the moment.
Stay safe people xx
