Hiya Verbatim :hello:
Well im hoping more peeps will post on me diary apart from just us lot
Well ive jsut recieved me payslip and yet again they have ballsed up my wages
Ive been overpaid again which means i now owe more money to my employer :mad: Im not entirely sure whether i should use this to pay off a massive chunk off my debt or hold on to it :think: cos basically ive now got to enter into negotiations withthe "overpayments team" to arrange terms of paying the money back :rolleyes:
Just really fed up with my employer now beause this has been going on for the last 2/3 months
Ill post up me out goings at some point over the weekend if not on Monday cos im off to visit Ms240 in the bright lights of London this weekendSavings Total so far for 2023: £8,062.580 -
Have a great time James and Kip.:beer:
Sorry about the aggro with pay. :eek:
I'd be tempted to pay off the MNBA as you're paying interest on that if I remember correctly whereas the other cards are 0%. Hey ho but it's still 3 steps forward and only a teensy half step back. You're so nearly there now.:money:CCs @0% £24k Dec 05 £19,621.41 Au £13400 S 12600 Oct £11,981 £9481 £7500 Nov £7250 D £7100 Jan 6950 F £5800 Mar£5400 May £4830 June £4660 July £4460 Aug £3200, S £900, £0 18/9/07 DFW Nerd 0420 -

well to be honest i can pay off nearly £800 of that this month if i use the money they have overpaid me so it leaves only a very minor amount left on the card
This month (from rough calculations) where they have overpaid me again i can pay off nearly £1100 of my debt this month. Ultimatley im still a bit undecided what to do with this money but if they are going to take it back monthly then i think the best thing to do is to actually use it to overpay my debt
If i do that then realistically i will only have approx £1400 worth of debt leftSavings Total so far for 2023: £8,062.580 -

Wow that'd be amazing james. Have you still got some MB etc to add on too. Looks like you'll be debt free by the end of the year for sure.
