    Hiya Julicorn!!
    #65 reporting my  o/p of £565.64 for August
    Monthly interest was £126.18
    which is £4.07 daily (going down 5p each month), and my mortgage balance is £81,999.99 as of just now.
    Which is very exciting to about 0.01% of the population, all of whom are on here :D:wink:

  • Sorry to be a pain Julicorn but could you take my July OP of £736.81 out so that the balance for July is 0.00? It’s too confusing for me so only going to include money actually overpaid,not money out it in a pot,in case I need to dip into it and my figures go all out of whack. I’m number #124

    thanks so much!
