    £127.24 to take off my total received £100 today from alliance leciester for switching accounts and the rest is interest and scratchcards. :D
    Due to budget cuts the light at the end of the tunnel will be switched off.

    A couple of my payments went out yesterday, so I have updated my totals! It's only a faction of what I am planning on paying off in Feb onwards, but seeing the figures reduce is brilliant!

    I've not put my loan in my sig as I'm mainly clearing all non-loan debt this year to make it easier to get rid of my loan after that - but I did a £250 payment yesterday too and the total amount is now under £7k, which is a good sight to see!

    Well done everyone, we're only three days in and already some dents have been made!! Wohoo!!

    Hmm the interest has just gone onto my CC which means my total to pay has gone back up again a bit - what do you want me to do about that mizmir? Do I ignore interest payments OR do I wait until I have overpaid and just let you know that amount?

    Just let me have actual payments - they will include interest for most people so the actual debt won't go down quite as much - it basically means we need to pay off more than the £520K we owe to reach our end of year target - gulp! :eek: but I think anything else will be confusing.

    Thanks mizmir, mind you looking at the interest payment this month it has gone down from £53 (and bits) to £46.25 so something is working!
