    It's my favourite day of the month - pay day!

    So I'm making my first overpayment of the year, of £2000. I'd like to have added my tax rebate and council tax non payments to it, but I know I've got both my MOT and my car insurance coming up soon, so I think I'm better keeping that back.

    Hi Lincoln Potter & Spiggle, as I was in the file, I made your update to the target, so you now stand at £18k and you are at 25% - FANTASTIC.

    Have a feeling my February bonus won't be coming in until March now. It's not just me, it's my entire team who will be effected but it's still irritating as i planned on using about half of it towards mortgage overpayment.

    Luckily my money bags full of silver (loose change) are slowly accumulating so when i cash them in, into the bank i can add it to the OP. Won't be the £500 or so i planned putting towards the mortgage though (we're looking at £15 here lol)

    Grrrr.

    Still determined to succeed.
