    Just been looking through my statements and i've noticed a problem with the loan details the bank had sent me in February. I had borrowed 10k and had a 2 month holiday before payments started, but as of 1st October, they have the balance as being 10,565.

    I'm not sure if they've taken any payments before October into account.
    I'll need to call them tomorrow - this is just to make sure i don't forget.

    'night all.

    There's an american site called calorie counter where you put in everything you eat/drink and it tells you how many calories you've eaten and how many you've got left, you can also put in exercise and it tells you how many calories you've burned off. It's got most British brands on it too. There's also a british site that's similar, but you've got to pay for that one.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    I reckon its interest? You may not have had to make a payment but did they charge interest? or was it part of the deal they wouldn't charge interest either?

    You're right buffy - they said it was interest.

    Why they said it was the balance rather than the balance with all future interest payable added, i don't know. They said they were thinking of changing the layout to make it clearer.

    I'll update on the weight and excercise with my monthly totals... maybe :o

    George, your BMI really isn't that bad, it's only overweight isn't it, not obese? I'm the far side of obese :(

    Eeeek I've just done my bmi on my last known weight and it came in at nearly 40! Although the last weight was done on the dodgy scales... I wont get a proper reading till the 1st, cos apparantly you should only weigh in once a month.

    Don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat so it won't all be fat anyway.

    I've just tried to calculate my Body fat - 24%
    Now if someone calls me a lardass they may be right :rolleyes:

    Oh believe me, it's far more fat than it is muscle!

    But I'm dropping dress sizes and looking slimmer, so hopefully I'll get a nice surprise on the 1st!
