    If i get it (not holding my breath) it will enable me to be debt free at the end of this month as part of my last debt payment

    Moneymabel, I hope you get it. It would be great to be debt free and looking at your sig, you seem to have cleared a lot in a small amount of time. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

    I am going to put mine on the Barclaycard as part of the 'Payment a Day' thread. I cannot wait till the 28th. £60.28 off the bill! (the 28p denotes the day of the month for payment tracking purposes)

  • I was so happy this morning when I realised Dh and I would both be gettng this. The extra £20 a month will be going in the baby fund and the £120 this month will be used to finish off the babys room. Very pleased :j xx

    This is fantastic news - don't know why I hadn't picked up on it before. Not only will I get £60 extra but my payrise will be in the wage packet this month backdated to 1 August. It'll all be going into my ISA for my payment a day challenge.

    I'll throw mine towards my wedding on October 3rd. At the moment we're looking at being a few hundred quid in debt by the time we get back from honeymoon (maybe more the way the pound's going :eek:). Either way we hope to be debt free (bar student loans and mortgage) at Christmas. Hmm, never posted about my own debt situation on here before :whistle:.

    Mine will probably be liberated by the Student Loans Company... they watch me constantly I think- if I earn an extra 10% through overtime my payment to them increases by 100%. Oh well!

    It won't affect student loans payments as it makes no difference to your gross earnings, which is what the payments are calculated on. The £60 will be all ours!

    Hmmm I could use it to put against the debt, but car just broke down and cost £156 to repair so I had to take that out of the car repair fund (I know it's what it's there for! :rolleyes:). Also we are off on a weeks jolly next week so it can go towards our few € we are taking away or now DS starting nursery, pay for his uniform and shoes :rolleyes:

    Too much choice! :rotfl:
