    Hello everyone, 

    A first tiny bit of money thrown at this for me. We just moved into a doer-upper and have thrown all of our spare cash at getting it livable. I've decided any interest from bank accounts will be thrown at the mortgage to chip away slowly. 

    #20: £10.54 overpayment so far for April. 

    Slow and steady! haha
