I played around with the mse calculator and worked out that an OP of £540 knocks a month off my mortgage. Obviously not completely accurate and I would love to find a better way but it will do for now 😀

So - as I have 2 mortgages with the biggest being 8 years 8 months, so it should cut off 19ish months . The martin lewis app doesn't work with the 8 months - is only reliable for a full years calculations so I had to get out my trusty calculator.
My target is to get this paid off in 5 years 4 months.
Every little helps!Part time worker.

My mortgage app took forever to update. Ots at 43300 but the same term. I'm sure with January's over payment it will knock it down that extra month.
Hopefully going to have 50 quid left this month. Aim to pay it off next year's holidaysPart time worker.
