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 atD :j:j#58 2021 Mortgage-free wannabesRemaining mortgage £23,657.00. MFD hopefully Dec.213 -
The flurry of end-of-July and beginning-of-August overpayments mean we've collectively overpaid over £675k already - fantastic progress!

Well done on the massive £675K and thank you Julicorn for doing the big sums!

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

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.Mortgage-free wannabe 2025 £571/30001
