    Hi there, like I said to Lindez, no need to tell me now - Just post this once in the 2022 thread once it's open at the start of December :) I'm not making any notes for next year's challenge yet, it's much easier to keep it all in one dedicated 2022 channel.

    Hi @julicorn

    Just popping into make an early overpayment for November:

    #29 OPs: £923.22

    I'm going to have to change my target again I'm afraid. 

    Revised target for the year is now £1000.

    We spent far more on the house than we thought and unfortunately that Premium Bonds or lottery win hasn't happened :smile:

    I'll make sure my target next year is a little more realistic and achievable next year.  But, I'm proud we will have overpaid at least £1k this year by the time we make the last 2021 payment next month - thanks for the encouragement.

    Thank you, Sandy
    Hi Sandy! With that overpayment, your total for the year already comes to over £1,700 rather than your new target - could you check if I've logged something incorrectly? :)

    Julicorn, sorry.  My OP this month is £84.77  (making a total for the year of £923.22).

    Apologies, Sandy

    Hi no.7 here with figures for September and October:

    September £316
    October £310

    That brings me to a grand total of £2526. We've had to reassess financial priorities as we decided to replace my car as it was 12 years old so may not manage to make any further overpayments this year. Thanks!

  • Morning,
    No.23 with an overpayment of £190. That should bring my yearly total to £4890.
    Happy November!

    Hi all. #24 here with £500 payment for November. £800k collective total is great - I wonder if we, as a group, will hit the £1M mark as I seem to recall happened in 2019 and so nearly did in 2020? 🤞Thanks, 
  • 16  -  Final over payment total for October £424.72

    Many thanks julicorn.
