Hi, I wanted to see how I got on first (Not very brave I know!) but I have managed to make overpayments each month. Mostly due to reading how others have got on and feeling inspired!

Hi BB - have pm'd you to say that I have made another overpayment (only £46.08), but have overpaid by nearly £140 in the last 3 months. Hoping to cash in my endowment in the next month so will make up to my full allowance of 5% in this time (keeping fingers crossed!).When you were born, you were crying and everyone around was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying! :rotfl:0

Hi everyone,
I won't be making an op this month, but I do have savings of 800 towards the next OP which will be 1500 pounds so need to save for another 2 months to get that all together.
I do feel a little sad, but it will be easier this way.
Hope everyone is doing well!Debt Free - done
Mortgage Free - done

Hello all,
Haven't got around to posting on this thread before, but I've been overpaying my mortgage by £500/month (the maximum I'm allowed) since May. So that's £2,000 in overpayments so far, another £2,000 by the end of the year.
Mortgage was £203,700 when we took it out in June 2007, currently about £196,200, aim to be around 193,000 by end of December and under £190,000 by the time we need to remortgage next June.0 -
Hi All,
Its been a while since I last posted but my overpayment for Aug has now left my account and gone to my ISA ready to OP in Jan 2010!! so thats another £700 - I cant beleive it. I realised that Ive had no Child benefit since december so now its all been sorted and £980 has been deposited into my account (How did I miss it for so long!!!!) I have put £500 towards the Aug OP.
Keep up the good work all - BB I will pm you

Hello all- I've made my regular overpayment of £160 for August, not sure if I'll be able to overpay any more yet this month- I'll pm Bells later in the month.
I'm owed money from various places (over a thousand in total) so will see if this comes to me before end of month. Also decorating project just begun and car needs MOT so I don't know how much money I'll need yet.
Well done to everyone on the overpayments - you're a great inspiration guys!2016 MFW OPd £2000, 2015 MFW OPd 3000 then bought new bigger house with bigger mortgage.Beautiful boys born May 2011 and October 2013
