    Just made a few more small overpayments totalling £45.08, so now.....

    £255.08/£4000
  • Happy Payday for me today! :j:j:j As ever, it's all disappeared out of my account fairly rapidly. I've paid £476 this morning, but only £226 of that counts for this challenge. That will probably be me for this month, but I do have other payments due out during the month which will count for next month.

    I really can't wait til this money is all mine again!

    Tell me about it. Most of the time I'm excited about how much money I'll have to save or go on holiday with or whatever. But sometimes it really does depress me having no spare cash, and today is one of those days! Everybody seems to be going on holiday this month except for me, and though I keep reminding myself that a lot of them are in debt themselves and only digging themselves deeper, I'm still totally green-eyed!

    In better news, overpayment of £400 on the loan today. Got the same cashier I did last time, who was genuinely shocked at how keen I was to overpay! Total is now £3806/£8283. It's going to be a really tight month but I'll try and pay another £50 off later in the month.
