  • hmmm. There in lies the problem Beanie........

    Its not a total nightmare as I could borrow out of my savings for August(which is actually 225 not 275) (although this will at some point lead to the August having no money scenario) if things got really tight .......what do I mean if!

    so yeah that is what I will do. Won't have to borrow all of it, 100 quid?

  • true but I may have to use my July wages to pay the loan off completely, I was sort of relying on the August money. However I can do extra shifts possibly and sell stuff on Ebay.

    as it stands I owe 76 quid on the Tesco's

    about 760 on the 0% card

    and 1954 on the loan

    That will be (after payments) 1460 , 740, 76 (!)

    So long as I don't spend on the Tesco's card this month I can use May's wages to make the figures

    928, 370, 0

    June's wages used to make them

    354, 0, still 0

    and then July's wages to pay the loan.

    Now that is depending on my maths which is !!!!! by the way

    I took off the monthly payment and then added 7.9% is that right? (7.9% is the interest)

    I might even be able to manage to pay it off in June and replace the savings in July. I get so excited when I think about being debt free. So close. SO long as I don't spend on the CC this month or any other until August!

    Two flys in the ointment are my Union Fees and the taking of the new guinea pig to the vets and having him "done" so he can evetually move in with the girls.

    Union fees are 174
    Castration - 50?

    hmmm. Again.

    The interest wouldent be 7.9% as I think that will be the interest for a year?
