Absolutely no idea if this is allowed so I am so so sorry if it isn't!
I read a blog the other day and it mentioned an app so i thought I would check it out and i think its helped! I have scheduled additional repayments and have (hopefully!) reduced my debt free date by 6 months ...... I should be DF in 2023, not 2024
Anyway - apps called "Debt Pay off planner" - its a free app (so moneysaving!) and it is essentially all the info that's given here but i think its easier to digest!
You can set it up to work out the repayments in 3 ways - I've gone for highest APR - Lowest. But you can change it to highest balance
I really hope it helps someone! (And again, sorry if its not allowed!)
(No, i have nothing to do with the app, its just helped me thats all)

Sounds like that could be a useful tool for people to know about. usual rules apply though - be cautious about how much personal info it requests - if any.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
