  • #26 skulking in very, very shame faced. 

    I’m afraid I’ve had a disaster of a year. Rate jumps and personal issues. This month I only managed a £75 overpayment (which was psychological more than anything else)

    I will get nowhere close to my target this year but I’ll try to hit £500 before the end of the year 

    £75 OP is still more than £0. Well done for any overpayment, times are a little tough right now.
    This was so kind of you to say. Thank you x
    Small OPs are better than no OPs

    Very late to the party, but would like to join for the remainder of 2024 if possible.

    i started making daily repayments in August, not much, but enough to chip off a month to my mortgage free day (Originally March 2041… when I will be 70 🤦‍♀️).  Mainly debt repayment focused at the moment, but seeing a couple of quid come off my mortgage each day is keeping me motivated for the looooong road ahead.
