    I've just had a look at an old statement CL, they charge the interest monthly so they shouldn't really be charging you that. I thought it might be that they calculate it yearly but that isn't the case, and even if it was it would be a bit stupid of them not to include it in the closing balance. Just had a thought... I think I remember reading/hearing somewhere that overpayments don't show up until the next tax year or something... not sure. Either way the SLC are idiots in my experience and they can't charge you interest on something you've already paid off. Good luck sorting it out.

    Well i had a long think about it, and I spoke to my mum and a friend and my sister, and I have decided not to get him.

    Its horrible to say, but I dont feel worried now i know im not getting him. I was so paranoid about my 2 and how they would react and how ill he really is. When i got Dylan as a kitten he had a dodgy tummy and after months of tests and all sorts it turned out he had a rare disease (given to him at his breeder's) and I had to go through 6 months trying to get him to be ok. it was so stressful and upsetting, i couldnt bare it if moses was the same.

    Any way, long winded answer to saying no! lol

    Plus Dylan was a complete git Monday night, really being cheeky, kind of like he was saying he didnt want another brother! :rotfl:
    Debt: just my mortgage :D

    i am sure you have made the right decision. anyway your 2 sound like more than enough. isn't it funny how talking to someone can make you completly change your mind!! lol

    my dd is desperate from a kitten i might get some advice on kittens and dogs and see if my dog can meet some cats to see if he would be ok or gobble one up!! she would love one for her birthday!

    You can def make the extra money up that way mm, of my £15 only £4.50 came from writing reviews.

    I've just done a quick currency conversion and $50 is nearly £31! It seems that global test market have done me a favour in not adding my points for ages.
