On Monday we should be mortgage neutral. The money is in my account just not yet cleared.

We should remain mortgage neutral until April. As soon as the tax year starts we are buying a new to us car.

Beyond annoying.
Still no answer at the bank on sat via the phone. I'm going to ring again in the morning and then do the 1.5hr round trip on Wed to overpay. I will pay off 160 and do a Jan and Feb over payment as I just will not be going that way again for a long time. 😤
It won't take me to the zero club I like but it will roughly so that will have to doPart time worker.
