    Morning all! Couldn't wait.Minimum payment on Virgin goes in couple of days, but really fancied paying of a bit more,so did just that and paid extra £135. Should've paid another £100, but that will now go in the holiday fund. I could've just take the holiday month of two months not paying any extra on CC, but I need to,so will do it over the next couple of months. I was really looking forward to CC quickly disappering but due to holiday plans it won't be gone before August now.

    Will post the above again, cos can't edit at work's computer for some reason and the above doesn't make quite sense. ;) Morning all!

Should've paid another £100, but that will now go in the holiday fund. I could've just taken the holiday money out of two months not paying any extra on CC, but I need to pay extra it's so motivating,so will do it over the next couple of months.

  • I am getting quite behind now!!! Would love to pass the 2k mark but don't think that will be happening until the end of Feb. I do have them savings but might need them for something else so don't want to use them yet.

    Every month I'm paying £100 to my savings account as this will go towards my student loan. But as I'm actually paying my student loan only every 4 months, do I have to wait till then to update my Paper Hat sig or could I include that £100 every month? That would make it look better...;)

    Awww I would add it hun as its money you are spending on other stuff isn't it. As long as it goes on the loan after 4 months and its not a sneaky plan to get the hat :rotfl:
