    Hello, number #66 here with an overpayment of £105 for January. We're off to a slow start for 2024 as we've had some big vet and dental bills and have just paid for our first family holiday abroad. Hoping things may pick up as the year goes on but overpayments in February and March are looking increasingly unlikely.

  • #17 checking in for what I think will probably be the last of Feb overpayments.
    £600 into a saving account for OP at end of year and £128.86 from PAD & TT this month. Quite happy with that amount and if I add any more I will come back but I think money will be quite tight until our payday next week now. 

    So Feb is £728.86 OP for #17

  • Evening all,
    No.23 stopping by with an overpayment of £2533 for February.
    Yearly total £2866.
    I am changing my strategy for this year and I am going to try to pay off as much as I can as quickly possible. With this in mind, can I change my target to £10,000? 
    Thank you @julicorn

  • I'd like to change my target 🎯 please if I can? #17

    I am allowed to pay off what I stated as my goal before but I want to save an EF and a few other pots alongside paying the mortgage off so with that in mind I'd like to reduce my yearly sum to

    £5,520
    .

    That is made up of £3000 going into savings to be paid later in the year, and £2,520 which is £210 a month- that's the amount of interest I pay monthly so I'd like to pay that as a minimum if I can. Thank you 🙏
