    Hello Dragon and Everyone,

    I am declaring another £41.55 which is coming off my student loan. I make that £7060.85 paid which is 39.9% How frustrating. I still haven't quite made the 40%. :(

    I might have to do something about that... Watch this space

    Many thanks for the updates.

    Hey all, hope you're all trucking along, I've had no time to read the updates but hope to catch up soon. I have had a very frugal January and paid off £963.70 Total paid is now £12,394.50

    Hopefully next month I should reach the halfway marker with 50% paid!! :T
