    Hi all! Can you add me to the challenge?
    I've just completed on my first home ever, and that crazy high number in the mortgage tracker page scares me! Not to mention thinking that the man will probably live on Mars by the time we see the final term of my mortgage.
    I don't have a plan for tackling this monster yet, all I know is that I want to see the term decreasing and still enjoy my life. So, for the time being I've set up a lame 25£/month overpayment, but I'll come back soon with a more ambitious objective for this 2018!

    Welcome! You're #34. :)

    Hi, can I join please? I'm aiming for an overpayment of £2400. I'm squirrelling the money into savings just now for a single overpayment at the end of the year. Maybe not the best way to do it, but it's the best way for me for now! Thanks!

    Sorry, #177 here, there was a £600 overpayment in Feb, sure I logged it on here but it hasn't been entered.

    Thanks

    #15 here. Just checking in with another small payment of £72.30. It was annoying me and although a tight month financially I wanted to pay it off so did!

    Trying to now build up the savings and cut back on unnecessary items that seem to fall in my basket as I go round the supermarket. Need to get back to basics!
