    Horray for going sub £750 on the loan pennies.

    Fingers crossed for your OH's job x

  • Thanks Woo, feels good to be under £750 but still doesn't feel like I've paid much off my original balance, once the bigger sums come off it will go down a lot quicker. Should be looking at a balance of £627 by next Friday :)

    Haven't heard from OH, he has a 5 hour practical exam so I'm hoping to speak to him after I finish work.

  • Have just put in expenses for £57.60, hopefully they will be processed quickly so that it can go against the loan! :)

  • OH got back from Glasgow last night, he produced 3 £2 coins out of his wallet so they went straight in to the sealed tin!

    Transferred a measly 8p in to my VSP today, payday isn't until next Friday and only have £70 in my account so need to watch the pennies...

    Oh how fitting my title is at this moment, if only my pennies were pounds...

    My account is at a big fat zero at the moment as well.

    Is it bad though that I'm still quite happy? Just because at least it's not in an overdraft!

    No that would make me happy as well Bec's!

    I am hoping to save some pennies from the shop tonight so I can send something to Lloyds on Monday, even if it is only 10p!

    I have £1.68 in my purse, will pay this in the bank at lunchtime and send to Lloyds I think, just in case their missing me!

    I'm sure they are missing you so it's only fair!

    I might be able to scrape some change from my purse too, don't want Lloyds to miss me either! :D
