We overpay our direct debit by the fixed amount of £70 and also have a standing order to pay even more. I like the standing order as I can vary the amount according to any excess income we have.

It is so nice to have it fully paid for, although the yearly tax we pay on it is more than the mortgage was... Good luck in your effort! It is the little things that count!lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273483704912191189noreply@blogger.com
