Expenses were in my account this morning and have already made their way to the loan, another £57 off the balance, only £616.11 to go!!!

Nearly sub £600, man this feels good

Kepp

Well done for sending another £57! :T

Thanks, I've made a pledge that any expenses money I get will be paid against the loan, I'm lucky in that the money I get back for mileage is well more than I put out so in a sense its not leaving me out of pocket.

Hopefully sister will be making a car payment to me soon, that will be going to the loan too! Another £50 hopefully :j

Woowoo

Hope your sisters money comes through soon

:j:j:j:j Sub £600 :j:j:j:j

Paypal transfer of £10 from surveys was through this morning so went to pay it of my loan, decided to add an extra £10 on though to take me under £600.

So another £20 off the loan, only £596.14 left to pay, 45% of the way there, feel like once I get over 50% it'll seem much easier

Having one of those days today...

Can't concentrate on my work, feeling a bit under the weather, got a sore throat coming on (thanks OH!) and just can't stop thinking about how quickly I can get this loan down...

I really wish I could PAD it but when the minimum payment I can make to the loan is £5 it isn't realistic, especially with Christmas just around the corner, 7 weeks on Sat :eek:

Another part of me keeps thinking that if only my sister gave me the £300 she owes me then I would nearly be free! But that's unrealistic too And then I hear her talking about taking a large loan to cover moving house, a baby and a wedding and I feel like screaming at her...

Woowoo

Well done on being sub £600

I can't understand your frustration with your sister, it's not fair.

Oh dear pennies.

I know it sounds harsh but if your sis is taking big loans out to cover everything she ought to remember that you are a creditor too! I really think you ought to mention it to her - simply say "any idea when that money is coming my way, things really tight just now". If it were me I would be more embarrassed about owing money to family than banks - I know that's silly in a way because of interest etc etc but I would feel morally bound to pay family debts first in a way. And frankly its not fair you should suffer - if she is taking out big loands perhaps she ought to add £300 more on top and pay you off!

Well she says there is a payment coming my way at the end of this week and as much as I really want to believe it will be there, I can't hold my breath. There's been a few too many times when 'somethings popped up' or she 'hasn't been paid on time' and I can't think about it until the money is in my account.

Sometimes she will willingly dicuss the money she is due me and others she just disregards it completely!

I'm confused

Just logged in to my student loan account and it says that I only have £546.17 left to pay...that's an extra £50 been deducted that I haven't paid...well I don't think I have paid it, whenever I make a payment the balance updates instantly so my figures are always correct...

Think I will need to keep an eye on it, either I've miscalculated my figures or it's deducted the £50 I paid on the 1st November twice :cool:

Any ideas?
