    Hi everyone, 
    #11 reporting £1145 overpayment for March. 
    I am of the same mind as some other posters and will be saving overpayments in EF from now on.  May bend that rule a little and op £10 a month though to feel like I’m still in the game!

    I hope you and yours all stay safe.

    Hopefully I'll be able to continue with small OPs going forwards but I need my work HR to send me my contract extension through. My boss, dept head & funder all say yes I can stay until the end of the year as expected, but HR is being very slow. Senior HR bod is now on the case apparently!
    Hi #51 here again! HR sorted out my contract so I'm employed until the end of the year. :) Celebrated with a mini OP of £6.06 (a payout from prolific) to take me to £191.35 for April so far.
    Mortgage free as of 12/08/20!

    Morning. Another £27.57 for me - number 82.
    That's my regular overpayment, takes me to £51.58 for April (which I suspect may be it!). 
    Thanks Juliecorn. Hope everyone is feeling ok today.
