£50 OP to the mortgage today....thanks to mortgage company actually sending £40 compensation money to our joint bank account, as a way of saying sorry for the hassle they caused when they wrote telling us we were in arrears....which we knew we weren't. So I thought best idea was to add another £10 to it and send it back as another OP.
