Ooh - forgot to mention - both of our "Big Thank You" payments arrived from a certain building society and MrEH transferred them straight to the mortgage as it qualified as "money we didn't know we had!"

Ooh, excellent work! 😃 Not sure what ours are going towards, we have a general strategy of building savings back up and paying to get house stuff done at the minute rather than mortgage, but you've reminded me that I did intend to round up our new monthly payment of £1051.67 😂4
