im so tempted to pay another £25 off my post office card to make it a nice round £1300 . . . is that being a bit OTT? :rotfl:

Not really as I'm thinking of paying off £4.15 to make my total paid off a round number! :rotfl:

I hate it when there are odd pennies outstanding!! All debts must be nice tidy round numbers *geek*

Is it bad that I'm becoming so OCD with mine that I don't like that the totals don't round to £100?

Hi, just wanted to say im still here, have been really busy with my money making ideas.

in the last two weeks i have:
sold some stuff on ebay
started collecting stuff to carboot from my family
made some cards to sell

any other ideas would be welcome.

have just found out that i cant make over paymets on my loan, i have to save the full amount and pay it in one go. so i will be making my normal payment of £126 a month, and put the rest in savings.

so far my total is £376/£8000

i wont be paying any more before christmas but its nice to have made a start.

I was checking all my credit cards/overdrafts and thought about rounding them all to the nearest £10 but then it would leave me with an unrounded number in my current account so then would have to round that to the nearest £10 to my VSP so a double whammy! Maybe will do it after I've bought all the xmas pressies but the budget is a little tight at the mo so will have to see... :rotfl:

Next it'll be that you're not happy unless you can round to the nearest £1000!!! :rotfl:

mf0u, as it's doing my head in trying to work out which total is what, can you update my total to pay off to £5030 this was my starting debt at LBM

My new housemate has gone out, she was meant to put the water on for me because I don't know how but she seems to have forgotten as I've ended up having a cold shower... the heating is off and I'm shivering =( brrrrrrrrrr. Curtains are up though, might have to get a little heater at this rate

Done, I've put your total paid to £1290 though as that's what it works out on your signature if that's ok? xxx

Very on the ball mf0u1098: I see you've updated my totals on page 1 from my signature change I'm impressed!

Thanks so much for managing this challenge :T:beer::T
