#5 Made another overpayment of £340 taking April total to £730.
That’s the 10% complete on part 2. Will start saving anymore now to put towards next year’s overpayment in January. Part 2 of the mortgage finishes in October next year.

I also wanted to let you know that I'm having to take a short break updating, but will be back mid May and can't wait to see what you all get up to in the meantime, overpayment-wise :)5 -
