 Sounds like things are going great. Fingers crossed on the bonus.
 I'm just a bit confused about this payment a day thing. Do you actually send the payment to the card on-line or do you put the money aside to pay as an instalment. If it is the on-line payment do companies not mind you paying like this? I don't suppose they would if they are getting money anyway. I feel a bit thick asking this 
 Have a lovely weekend and hope it was only the one drink and you didn't succomb to peer pressure :rotfl::rotfl: You might need a clear head for the horse riding in the morning.
 Take care.

 Lil you have to phone up who you are paying and find out. Like when I was with Creation Consumer finance (or whatever they are called. I got my macbook funded via them via PC *) they had a thing on their website to pay off by debit card in wee bits but whilst it processed instantly they charged me £3 for the pleasure :eek:...
 So I phoned them up (just googled head office. Cheaper than 08456) and like got their bank details and did a bank transfer. Initially I just did it for £5 to try it out in case the chap on the phone was lying. But it worked. Took about 2 days to register on my account and like 3 days to show online. But still. For the amount I was padding it was cost effective.
 Then the last wee bit I paid by debit card. Kept the charges to a minimum. :money
 So like yeah phone up your debitors and say you want to make extra payments but you don't want a direct debit or a standing order as you are not sure how often you are going to make them. If you already have the bank details you can do it via phone/online or even pop into your local bank branch and they will help. It's a bit complicated to set up but once you have it it's fine.
 Like I pay £20 a month to my local church building fund and via their standing order form I found out their bank sort code and account no so now I know if I ever want to make extra payments I can ... ...
 You may have to be a bit of a detective but it's so worth it. I pad every 2 weeks. You may want to pad every day or less often. Doesn't matter. So long as it's regular. Hope that helps
 And
 GOOD LUCK LG WITH EXAMS E:dance: E:dance:

            I have everything crossed for you LG. I can't wait to find out what your results are, it's so exciting.
 Maybe we might need to be celebrating on-line tomorrow, I will bring the bubbly :rotfl::rotfl:MSE version though haha.
 Then hopefully soon we will have MT's party too so :beer::beer: all round.
 Good to hear things are going well with D. Nice that he paid too, I like that although I don't normally get that haha. As it stands now, I'm off men for the time being.
 Posted on MT's thread just that I really am going to sort my whole life out after the weekend. Stalling I know but do need to go out with my friend to celebrate my birthday. but do need to go out with my friend to celebrate my birthday.
 I have a few items on e-bay but only things that I have re-listed and have a box full with more to put in it that needs to be listed.
 I've got a feeling I will be logging on again in the morning to find out how you got on so hopefully you will have heard by then. Good luck hun.
 Take care.

 Good luck for your results (I'm sure you'll have rocked it!), potential for a celebratory drink with D following the happy news?! 
 BTW, was the Scandi bar you went to The Nordic Bar in Soho, by any chance?
