    £3,504 - Total mortgage OP made

    Apologies for the silence been very bad at keeping up to date here.

    I made a huge OP this morning (£3,000) which brings my total for the year to the above!

    I had savings sitting in the account but it's been niggling at me for weeks on end so I decided today to just OP the mortgage.

    So happy!
