Friday is payday!
Min pay to car: 173.27
Min Pay to loan: 200.00
Overpay to loan: 148.18
Total: 521.45 + 772.54 = 1293.99
5349.19 - 1293.99 = 4055.20
Overpayment Challenge will be 183.46/1243.22
can't wait! how sad is that!?!
going to try and 'collect' enough throughout March to cover the £55.20 so I'm starting from £4000 from April! £1.78 a day...better get my thinking cap on.
If there's a "Make £x a day" thread going for March I recommend it, I don't have the time at the moment (doing so much overtime!) but when I did it I found it really encouraging and it gave me some good ideas.
By the way I'm so glad I'm not the only one that works out in advance what my debt will have gone down to on payday! Mine is Friday too and my debt on Friday will be £4977 - which excites me WAY too much as it's under £5k! Then I'll try for a £400 overpayment on the 3rd after all the bills are out. Bad month coming thanks to little overtime last month. Made up for it this month though with 6 shifts.DEBT FREE 3rd Sept 2011
(Debts at highest £15.8k Nov '08)
Student Loan paid off July 2014
First Direct Regular Saver #2: £2700 ** Santander 123: £13,106

thanks for that - i think I might try and find 31 things I can put on ebay for a starting price of 1.78 each! Have loads of stored up bubble baths/ moisturises, etc.0
