    Amr [ Would it be possible for you to get a second bank account? That way you could work out how much you need to pay off each month and have one account just for bills/ repayments and transfer what's left to the other account to use for everything else. That way you'll know how much you have at the beginning of the month and takes away some of the stress? It's what I do.

    could be a good idea!
  • What calculator do you all use to work out the percentage, each time I use a different one it gives me a different answer....

    Also can I join please? No rush for a number, enjoy your time away this weekend minicooper :)
