    Hiya yukkibear
    hope your tooth is not too bad today. Now you even have a dentist giving you advice on here, I'm sure I remember jugglebug giving good advice to flying_fresian on her thread re her toothache, so you should listen to him/her. Sorry, lecture over, it's the mum in me coming out!

    Thanks guys, I know I will need to go to the dentist. Personally I think I am just run down as the tooth ache went to being ear ache all day yesterday at work. I have next week off so hoping to relax a bit then.

    I have 5 ebay parcels to post today and waiting on two payments.

    Loan day today so total has changed. Interest is creeping down slightly which is good. According to snowball if I hadn't overpaid at all my interest this month should have been £40.92, and it was £26.01 so that's a good saving.

    I meant to also add that any extra coming in at the mo has to go to getting my account on a good level, as well as getting some holiday spending money as well as paying off this loan, so it's all going to be stretched a bit more thinly. Perhaps my total wont be decreasing quite as quickly as it has done.

    Hi YB
    An inspiring diary- maybe if I keep reading it will rub off on me. Congrats on getting your loan down to almost half so quickly.

    Thanks Maria. I know when I look at the interest savings it makes it all worthwhile.

    I am super skint though and all extras is mopping up the damage now which is a shame.
    I paid a token £2.01 off the balance this morning to round it down.

    Hi,

    Well done on the loan, it may seem hard work but you are doing a great job.

    I like doing little token payments, makes you feel like you are getting somewhere.

    Yeah I think that's all I'll be able to do this month which is a shame.
    My new replacement phone finally arrived today so am playing with that now :D
