#22 reported figure for July. It's a bit of an approximate figure as I didn't log on in time for the next payment to come out/interest etc. I like to try and report at the start of July and I didn't check the figure so it's not going to be accurate. It's close enough though.Reduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £2.36 July 25
% of house owned/% of mortgage paid off. July 25 - 38.82%/31.66%

Update submitted, a wee bit early but I know I’m behind! We’ve got £2,250 sat in a savings pot as it’s earning better than the mortgage and likely to throw some more at it around Christmas so will see progress in the next report.Good luck everyone on this challenge, it’s a long slog but we’re getting there month by month xMFW 2021 #76 £5,145
