    Hi all.Good luck on the interview savingholmes. :)Just paid £136 off Virgin CC. Still haven't decided what to do with student loan interest, but trying to but all extra money into that one. Need to put the stuff on ebay I've had for couple of months now and done nothing with...Motivation definitely a bit low... Will get Paper hat sig over £2k this month though, so that'll be bit of positive news. :)

    £63.29 paid off DH's credit card so far today.
    i've been really pants lately, and got loads of things i need to take back which i bought (uniforms for work) which Iused my cc for as I get the money back, but since the decision making is taking a while LOL i need to return a load of things..... and then things will balance out a bit more then.
    Hopefully will get my redundancy money at the end of this month... dont think ive been paid from current job which will mean 6 weeks wage next month which is ok but just dont want my bill payments to cause charges during the switch over....

    Off to update my siggy anyway

  • I managed to pay my credit card twice this month :rolleyes: (on top of a £565 overpay:D ) so that is a bonus £50 off that. And I also paid the £25 interest that I got from my ISA (which I killed off because the sorry interest rate was annoying me:p ) from my Egg loan. If I can be very good until the end of the month I may have another £200 to throw at something too :T maybe.

    ETA: note how quickly I forget that these payments were made possible by the ditching of my £960 ISA - hmmm, I seem to have lost a couple of hundred there, I wonder how that happened. Couldn't POSSIBLY be my ludicrous blow out shopping trip :confused:
