    Hi All,

    #11 with a May OP of £266. Trying to get back on track but there's always something to pay for that I hadn't anticipated.

    Enjoy your break JC.

    #33 here reporting a £423 overpayment for May so far, bringing YTD total to £1767.14....still a very long way to go to target of £10,000 but as tesco say every little helps and knowing I'm cutting the interest on the remaining mortgage is a great motivator.
