    i am absolutely thrilled and delighted to announce that i have finally made my first payment.

    i have paid £250/£4,500.

    i was hoping to pay £450 but i darent leave myself short for the month which is what i have always done before and then ended up using the credit card. so this way i will not touch the credit card.

    if by some chance i can manage another payment later in the month i will.

    Just thought I'd let you know straight away... you know, in case you were ever in my area and looking for an orange. I do work for an orange coloured company actually... but luckily the uniform is grey thank god.
