    Hello everyone
    MFW #47 reporting overpayment of £6338- for March. Just wanted to bring my LTV down a bit. I have also paid more than I planned to overpay for year but felt best start the year on a good overpayment note. Please keep my target the same Julicorn as I want to see how much over I will do by the end of the year. I am hoping this will be my best year yet. 
    Well done to you all with your overpayments! 
    Xx
