    Thank you, @FtbDreaming

    Cheque arrived this morning for £11.11 - an overpayment I made ages ago to a mobile phone contract. I didn’t know I had overpaid and they had added 2% interest so they must have been owed me for ages! I paid it into Lloyd’s.

    £50 from YouGov and £20 from Prolific. When the money appears in my bank, I’ll add a bit so it makes another £100 for Lloyds. 
    Added the electricity bill overpayment.

    Ooo, just looked in Quidco and there was £35 in there too! Must have been from when I switched electricity suppliers in the summer. 

    When the 3 payments have cleared, I’ll pay in £128 to get to a virtual total of £32,999.

  • Hi @Frith, your diary is very inspirational.  It's quite something how you manage.  Have you and your lads been to the Railway Museum yet?  That is one of my favourite places.  Indi

    That will take the mortgage from
