I can report I have added the following into our OP savings pot since my last post:-
£ 284.52 interest from one savings account
£ 397.43 wages from BK
£ 1000.00 gift from mum and dad for our anniversary and paying back money owed
________
£ 1681.95
So my total now currently stands at £72329.43/£81700 = 88.53%
Moving closer and now less than £10K to go
Our next goal will be our BTL3 mortgage but first to find that pesky last £10k to pay off this BTL2Mortgage - £2338.07 paid off Feb 2023 BTL 1 £51,089.10 £35789.36 paid off July 2025 BTL 2 £81,504.52 BTL 3 £77,497.020 -

I hate months like that - kids and cars sure seem to be a sucker of savings
My car has developed a fault today but it seems to have cleared itself for now so fingers crossed it was just an electrical blip.
Good luck with the MOT xSept 24 : £32000
