Back to work tomorrow so updated my Jan spread sheet - transferred my December salary that was paid early and been sitting in my saver account over to current account.
Managed to overpay £60 into the loan. Will phone on Monday and get updated balance - its frustrating they don't have online facilities or send statements so I just keep my spread sheet running and then call every now again for an update.
If I am on target with budget will transfer more over nearer to next pay day (20th).0 -

Happy New Year LAM!
I find it so annoying that in this day and age a company can't provide online facilities for tracking a loan etc. Absolutely bonkers! It's like they want us not to keep track....0 -

Happy Friday everyone
ok, so I apologise in advance - my 'return' key is having a wobble - sometimes it works sometimes it sticks.
So after reading some inspirational diaries I have decided two things for Jan :
1) Ebay - Target £100
I wasn't going to ebay until Feb as I felt that most people don't have any money in Jan but came across a couple of horsey 'winter' items that are unused so now is actually a good time whilst its still cold and whilst it is free listing over the weekend.
2) Weight
I have not got on scales yet this year but having not done much exercise over the xmas period and having eaten loads my work clothes are feeling a bit tight! Not sure what goal to set - someone said aim for a llb a week so will see what happens.
Going to sit down later and menu plan for next week and go do shopping tomorrow after my 'weigh in and measure'.0 -
Morning,
ok so my £5 reward from my bank(I love this) has arrived as well as the £5 claimed from MSurvey. SBucks £5 should arrive soon then I can overpay loan with £15.
Also want to photograph 2 items and get listed on ebay today. Another dark gloomy day and camera is not great so hopefully photos wont let the listing down.0
