I'm not convinced my tax code is correct for this year yet but it can be adjusted later I suppose. Looking forward to the long weekend/half term with the kids.I've made another £1,000 overpayment on the mortgage so that means I have £3k left that I can pay between now at end of Sept.Also another £1,000 into premium bonds but I realised a mistake. You do not get entered in the prize draw until one full month AFTER the month you paid in. So my 1 May payment won't go into the prize draw until July, which is the same as today's payment.1

No prize wins in the premium bonds in the first month. The dream to win the £1mil prize will have to continue haha.Another £1k paid off the mortgage so still on track to max out the 20% overpayment for year 1 of the current mortgage deal.2

Another £1k paid off the mortgage so now down to £64,000.Debating what to do with other savings since August is usually expensive with the summer holidays and trips.1

Enjoyed the summer holidays with the kids so far. London this week was fairly expensive.Managed to pay down another £1k on the mortgage so just below £63,000 now and also maxed out the overpayment allocation until the end of September now.1
