#87 Dropping by to report an overpayment of £184 for February. With my usual payment that will take the mortage to £16400 or so. Overpayments for 2021 amount to £524.00. I can actually cover another £5000 or so now but want to leave it accessible.
Happily I retire in a few weeks and my lump sum should cover the rest. Just got to get an up to date final balance.
