  • #20 here. 

    Has a rejiggle of money and it’s approaching the end of my mortgage year so decided to maximise my annual overpayment limit while savings have no return. 

    Therefore I have paid off another £7000 this month, taking my total to £7980.24 for September 

    I think that also means I’ll have paid off £20k in overpayments this year ❤️

    We owed £308k in summer 2020 and now we are standing at £273k - so still a long long way to go!
