    I have paid off an extra £114.09 today which takes me to 22p over the amount I am aiming for per month. Happy with that for today. I had a conversation with a friend who had been overpaying their mortgage but has decided to holiday more instead while the kids are young so I am trying not to pay so much that it affects our lifestyle too much but still chipping away at the balance.

    A very small overpayment this month as it's new phone day, assuming Google release the phone I want at a suitable price.
    £56/279
  • Hi all,
    Haven't been around here much but wanted to give an update.
    Target £1,200
    Paid YTD £760.49
    Slightly ahead of target which is great! Also me and the better have have been doing some calculations and we should be able to greatly increase our over payments shortly.

    £111 paid extra today, as my regular payments have reduced by £43 this has become easier to achieve, no gym payment as still on hold so used that money to overpay.

    £321.37 / £630.70

    Another small overpayment this month but I also saved up £335 towards a new Google phone (phone is £349), released Oct.  By then I will have £420, so could, if I want use that instead to overpay and complete my second 1% overpayment this year, or I could treat myself.  I think when push comes to shove £350 is a lot of money to spend on a phone.  Will see what happens Oct :)
