    Hi, number 105 here with my overpayment for September 2026 of £9954.62

    This is my final overpayment as by a miracle I have managed to pay my mortgage off in full with this payment. Can't believe I am mortgage free, thank you for this challenge as it has helped me keep this to the front of mind and determined to get it done!

    Good luck to everyone on the challenge, it is well worth the hard work, have unbelievably managed to overpay the mortgage to clear it 8 and a half years early and saved 1000's in interest!
