    i agree with happy, ring up the bank and find out when they'll take the DD's, get the person's name so that if they say it's the 31st and it turns out they lied (don't really trust banks) and it goes early then you can call again and shout.

    i'll be below the £14k mark when i get paid on friday, i should get to a couple of hundred over £13k as well next month. I've started working on how our budgets will look when i've finished paying off the Norbert loan. I can't get used to having spare money so it's going into the mortgage or into specific savings accounts.
  • I'm off to see the parents drink there coffee and use there heating haha x yes I know it's reds lol. I trust no bank these days they fill you with rubbish :-) haha x but alas I suck it up because I'm pretty sure when we are all free of paying kaons and credit cards they will need us and il be sure to say no thank you xx

    And pinch some of their biscuits to go with your coffee I hope!

    Just think when every debt free wannabe finally gets there the banks will be kissing goodbye to their whopping bonuses!

    Oh no, will the dd's go out on the Fri or the Tues then? I always get paid last Friday of the month so thankfully haven't had that problem.

    Tuesday from Absurd&Ludcrious but I get paid into First Direct so I have to transfer and of course it will be too late. LOL I have tried staying up to wait but it doesn't hit the account to 7am and DD's come out at midnight!

    Ho hum will manage some how!

    @ RED

    Does it matter if the money goes out and then in on the same day? I was always lead to believe its the gross balance at the end of the day that matters!
    start = Wed 19th Nov 2008 £21,225
    end = Mon 28th Sept 2015 DEBT FREE!
    I love a good plan - it may not work.... but I love a good plan!
