Good Morning, Happy Tuesday!
Quick update, I've received this month's savings interest (for having the car payment monies and annual bills in a savings account), the refund for some school uniform has been processed and we also received 50p more in monies owed for some groceries we picked up for a friend.
Car payment amount saved now stands at £8709.94 with £3533.66 remaining
Mortgage (MFD 04/2053) (Jan 25) £238,983.71. Overpayment set to £200 per month. Current: £235,066.98
Car Balloon Payment £12,243.60, due Nov 25. Saved £8,709.94, £3,533.66 remaining
2025 goals:
23 / 25 books
2 / 24lbs lost
£1000 / £1000 EF

Thank you @jwil, usually I would have let the refunds be used on groceries (though if we were in 2024 or before then we'd also be in our overdraft), significant improvements since the end of last year, it's been completely mind blowing.Mortgage (MFD 04/2053) (Jan 25) £238,983.71.
