    Buffy, is there any sort of penalty fee for paying the loan off earlier? If not at and you think it's feasable to clear it in 11 months then go for it.

    Its possible to pay it off.

    I think it I would have to get it down abit more first been doing more sums. I will move it in November.

    oh well, I never wanted the mouthfuls of soup that leaked from the top of the flask and went all over the passenger seat of the car anyway.............

    Vegetable soup on upholstery..........yes it does look like someone's been sick...........good job I don't live far from work, the keeping hand on the steering wheel and the other on the flask to keep it upright isn't a good long term plan...........

    Hi everyone.

    I got my uni offer letter today - it says "sign here to accept the place and then we will send you information on payment options".

    How helpful is that? :mad:

    DH and I discussed it and he said even if we need to make one full payment we will manage but I don't think it is a helpful approach.

    The postman also delivered me an info pack for the professional and career development loans so I have my bedtime reading sorted for tonight :D

    Had a 2 hour walk this morning and took some piccies, then came back and fell alseep!

    1. Get rid of the unwanted stuff from decluttering yesterday - yeah, can't do this
    2. Clean one kitchen appliance until it gleams like new - or this
    3. Check your Xmas pressie stash/fund. Allocate what you've got and make a list of what is still needed - no stash
    4. Find a new recipe that uses ingredients lready in the house/garden - ?
    5. Put another 10p in the debtbusting fund - will put my euro shrapnel in nalle's pot :D

    :o I don't "get" Excel, I have the calculator and word and lots of scribbles!

    My back pain has literally stopped me in my tracks. Can hardly move! Was supposed to be out tonight and doing my shelves today, am well disappointed. And even more disappointed that all my workings out have actually just led to oh the sameplace!!

    Thanks for all the good wishes.
    Been out for lunch & the girls are coming tonight for a glass or two of rose.

    BUffy~I have transferred my OD onto an interest free card.
    So wanted rid of it.
    So the challange now is to not NOT slip back into the OD.
    Obviously too I want to clear the card before the interest free period ends.
