Allocating a chunk for mortgage overpayment seems sensible, I will include it in my considerations.

Every little helps with the mortgage overpayments, even if it does feel like a huge mountain to climb.
The extra £106 a month we are overpaying on ours knocks 1 year and 3 months off the remaining term.
We will be looking to increase our over payment further in July when I get my second cost of living rise.4 -

Morning all, it’s a clear and sunny morning here after the rain yesterday, which is unusual as I’ve washed my hair 🤣
I had another Vinted payment in the bank this morning so I’ve sent £25 to CC7 as my PAD. Hubby has been paid today and he has his pay increase and some back pay so he’s happy. Today isn’t a NSD as I’m meeting my friend for lunch and I’m very much looking forward to that.
I’ve a busy day ahead, seems my norm these days. But at least the time passes quickly. I’ve the housework to do tonight which will probably be as much of a work out as last night’s gym session lol.
Hope you all have good days!LMD xLife gets in the way...PADding is addictive...Saving's better than spending...My savings diary - Now for a healthier, wealthier me2025 1p challenge #41 | Cash envelope challenge #01 | SPC #017Sealed pot 2025 £5678 | EF £1000/£1000 | Sabbatical £3188/£6000 | Travel savings £1924 | Sinking pots £21262 -
Final vinted payment has just landed so I've sent £22 to CC7 just now. Nothing else is available to cash out on Prolific, but £15 pending approval. Prolific has been quiet for me today, but I'm certainly not complaining given the bumper hauls I have had lately!
