    Hi Julicorn,

    #58 overpayment of £300 for August - slowing down for a while now as we've just made a big purchase of a car.

    That's ok though as outstanding mortgage today is £5790.62. My plan was to be mortgage free by December 21 but realistically I think it will be a bit longer 

    Keep going everyone whatever stage you're at

    Hello,

    #114 August overpayment of £500. This one feels extra good as the mortgage is now under £100,000- nearly 3yrs earlier than the banks plan   :) 🍻!

    thanks Merry

    Hello everyone. #24 here with a £1,250 mortgage overpayment for August. 2 non-mortgage related bits of good news today - won £50 on first ever PB prize draw and car passed MOT first time with no advisories 🥳 Thanks,

    Sorry I've not been doing very with updating my totals this year. I'm number 7 and my totals are:
    June £256
    July £253 
    August £210

    Ideally I'd overpay more this month but as we'll be off on holiday I don't think we'll manage anymore. Our nursery bill will decrease in September (thank you 30hrs free childcare!) but this will partly be offset by my pension contributions having to increase.
