    Hi there! Is it possible that I've missed a previous overpayment? I've got the total balance £11 lower.

  • Number 13 here just confirming that there will be no more payments for me this year. Last OP was October, but I have already hit 115% of my target.

    I decided to book Lapland instead.... i know, niot very MSE but the sheer joy on my daughter's face was worth not pay a few grand to the mortgage. Some things are just more important and the last 2 years have taught me how precious life and fun is - we are going all out this year on holiday and presents (all paid cash though :))

    I shall be back in earnest in January on the 2022 thread!

    I wish everyone a peaceful and happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
