    Hi all

    Finally managed to make a small PAD of £20 - feels rubbish though as its just paying a bit of the interest i've been charged on the overdraft i cleared at the start of the month. So £20 paid out but no 'balance' as such reduced :mad:

    Number 93 reporting, my self-employed wages are showing on my student overdraft, woo hoo.

    so £200 paid off :)


    bringing my total up to £640.34 which is nearly 10%! I wish it was all on student overdraft as that expires in May but paying interest on the CC means I make my monthly paymenys of 55£. Never mind, I'm super pleased I've paid that much already before my income decreases and I just hope it can continue :o


    tootles off to update sig, yay!
