    Hi all.  Had a delay on the first couple of OP's of the year as the mortgage balance wasn't updating properly online as they were preparing the annual statement at the same time 🙄

    So #77 reporting in with an OP of £199.37 in January and £197.99 in February, thanks julicorn!

    We've overpaid over £90,000 already! I wonder how long it'll be before we hit the 100k mark <3 
    That's amazing, well done everyone!  Think we may get there by the end of the month at this rate!
