    £51.88 So far Please Julicorn. 
      I love looking at everyone's progress, so thank you as it is motivating me more. 
    Interest now under £4 per day.  After 'playing' with the addictive overpayment calculator have decided to dedicate more funds to the mortgage which now stands at 72k.  I am on a mission, lol. 

    Many thanks Julicorn

    Keep 'chucking' the pennies at it. My thought is, every penny counts. 

    The OH is now more onboard ( lots more than they were), we keep laughing, as the odd fiver is chucked at it by saying, 'that's a few less minuets at work / until retirement', which is our main goal.    

    £5 a day is good, as it is not £6!  You can do it.

    Hello, can I please join in? My OP target is £7200 (£600 a month) and so far on target even though we are only 1 month into the year. :smile:
    Of course! Your number is 119. I also take from your post that you overpaid £600 in January, but let me know if I misunderstood.
    Yes, overpaid £600 in January :smile:
