I think it's a great plan Woo - and once done you won't be using debt to pay off debt which is what technically any of us with an overdraft/*erhm* reserve.... is doing.

Hi Kat
I don't use the account anymore as I hated seeing my wages go in and still be in minus figures! I just transfer over the required interest payment every month.
Once it's gone I will be one step closer to saying goodbye to Lloyds.
I'm really good thanks, have been seeing the guy I mentioned I had a date with. He's coming to a wedding with me on SaturdayLBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

I think its a great idea going for th OD first plus when its all paid off Lloyds should be lower anyway.
Hope you have a good time at the wedding with your mystery guyMARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035

sounds like you've some pretty good plans there Woo. at least you'll feel that you're achieving something and OD's are soul destroying, once you get into them they're so hard to get out of.0

Oooh, so going well then
happy for you, nice to "see" you having fun!
I wanted to open another account to do the same for the reserve but no-one would give me one. I don't understand why, my credit rating surely can't be that bad - no legal proceedings against me, even when you've been bankrupt you can have an account within 6 months now!!!Loan - [STRIKE]£6991.95[/STRIKE]£6180.01; Barclays Res - [STRIKE]£600[/STRIKE] £0 - £22 per week :eek:, NWB Grad O/D - [STRIKE]£1185[/STRIKE] £887.86 18.28% SWALEC - [STRIKE]£700[/STRIKE] £0 NPOWER [STRIKE]£220[/STRIKE] £0 Kays - [STRIKE]£591.28[/STRIKE] £0 TOTAL DEBT - [STRIKE]£10,288.23[/STRIKE] £7,000.01 31.96 % Paid off.

Hi Woo, nice to hear it's going well with your new bloke, you deserve some fun times and a bit of pampering! How's it going living with your friend, are you all settled in now? I can't live with friends, I tried it twice at uni, and we ended up not being friends by the end of the year. Made up pretty much as soon as we moved out though
I think I'm just incredibly easily irritated by stuff, I need a lot of personal space in my home. Even DH annoys me sometimes :rotfl:
Good luck with the overdraft, I'm sure you'll chip it away in no time with all your random payments :TLittle monkey born November 2012:jFroglet due March 20160 -
I agree. I'm bad at living with people, I have decided it's me not them lol xxLoan - [STRIKE]£6991.95[/STRIKE]£6180.01; Barclays Res - [STRIKE]£600[/STRIKE] £0 - £22 per week :eek:, NWB Grad O/D - [STRIKE]£1185[/STRIKE] £887.86 18.28% SWALEC - [STRIKE]£700[/STRIKE] £0 NPOWER [STRIKE]£220[/STRIKE] £0 Kays - [STRIKE]£591.28[/STRIKE] £0 TOTAL DEBT - [STRIKE]£10,288.23[/STRIKE] £7,000.01 31.96 % Paid off.
