    I love how things make sense on here that don't anywhere else! :D

    Challenge is on and of course added to sig.

    Roll on the weekend even more now, not just extra shifts but some selling as well now! :)

    I've just been staring at my spreadsheets again (wonder how many hours I've spent doing that?!) and realised if I overpay my overpayments (if that makes sense at all!) by £495 then I can take my DFD to November 2012 as my last payments in December 2012 are only £495.

    If all that long-winded waffle makes sense I'm going to use that as a target to start making some ebay/gumtree sales as that's something I've really been putting off :o

    Makes perfect sense, and you're not the only one that spends hours looking at spreadsheets! To bring my DFD to Nov12 I have to overpay my overpayments by £55 a month. Still, most of mine is based on a bonus in October that I'm estimating at the moment, so I wont be certain when my DFD is... I'm anticipating making a payment of £4k in October towards the debt...

    Being able to make a 4K payment in one go will be amazing, even better seeing as it's Lloyds you could divide that whole amount into pennies and pay it that way! :D

  • Hi Beccie,

    Just posted on the % challenge thread that it's free listings on eBay this weekend, might be a good time to start making that £495?

    Hope that helps!

    It would be worth the effort just to annoy Lloyds :D

    We need a name for our Lloyds bashing group!

    Although actually Lloyds bashing as you've already called it is pretty good!

    Poo, the gig I was going to go to on Sat night has been cancelled.

    Was going to spend probably around £20 on drinks and stuff though so think that maybe justifies me buying a new pair of trainers?

    I know Converse are supposed to be battered but you can tell what socks I'm wearing through the holes! :eek:
