    No payment in Feb but back in Mar and a big change, a few small payments and a withdrawal from Sprive have been taken off the mortgage but with the recession talk and global markets being a bit weaker I have taken some money from a S&S ISA and focussed that on the mortgage.

    Mar 6,579.54
    Ytd 14,579.54

    That beats my 14k target but allowance on mortgage does allow me put a bit more in so I will target the max of 15.200
