No. 75 reporting in - made an extra car payment today so I'm now at £1,485.26/£10,000. Am seriously considering refinancing the car loan though, as I might get a slightly cheaper rate, and if I move it I can pay online rather than having to go to the bank 15 miles away every time I want to make a payment. Banking over here is definitely behind the times.0
