    Hi all, #86 here :).
    Bit late reporting, but can I please amend my Feb overpayment to be £1285 in total. Can I please also amend my target for the year to 12k please. Silly me didn't adjust my spreadsheet to account for 3 months SMP. 
    Thanks!

    #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.  :smiley:
