  • #40 here, I made a lump sum one off OP of £16k, which is my 10% overpayment allowance for the year.

    Please could I increase my target for 2023 to a total of £36k, to reflect the savings I'm going to hopefully try and put away over the next 11 months. Thanks @julicorn

    £240,000 paid off in 4 years, 8 months and 18 days (July '20-Mar '25)
