    Fabulous overpayments, everyone! We're already super close to £50k btw, so if anyone has some spare pennies flying around to throw at their mortgage... :D

    Hi @julicorn
    Can I join as a MFW?
    15 years left on the mortgage but want to shift it 8!
    Of course, we'd love to have you on board :) Could you let me know your overpayment goal for the year? Once I know that, I'll assign you a number.

    Yes, the goal is to hit the maximum OP before fees. £14,180! Seems ambitious but we’ve got a redundancy payment to contribute after which we are living on one wage and will be able to put a few pounds on OPs here and there.
    Excellent, thank you :) You've got #113.
