Congratulations on your big OP, and we look forward to having you on board again next year with a savings goalSeekingFlight said:@julicorn
Due to unexpected circumstances I have 2 OP's to report
£45,790.99 in February
£35,527.76 in March
That's me out for the year, I can't make any further OP's without incurring a penalty. I'll be doing a savings challenge for next year's OP instead.

I didn't explain that well @Julicorn, I'll be saving the £500 a month i was going to pay this year for next year. My overpayment allowance resets on February 23rd 2026. So I'll be following along this year, just with saving not overpayingjulicorn said:

If you want, I can always add a second line for you in the spreadsheet with your savings goal, e.g. £4,500 or £5,000 for the rest of the year? I've done that for people before.SeekingFlight said:
