  • Sorry to hear about your exams raggydoll - that's a bit steep for resits! I've updated your total, but I'm sure you'll be making payments in no time at all!

    It is!! damn this accounting bodies!! charging loads for everything

    thanks... payday soon so I will be off the starting blocks again

    Does anyoneknow a good way of calculating interest? I always get it wrong on my CC so i end up adjusting my totals all the time

    my bed was free, we just had to fix it!!! i mean its ok but id like something nicer.

    i have no storage but im thinking of getting loads of little decorative boxes so that things at least look nice.

    i have finally decided on a place to go on holiday!!! im just waiting for a discount code as its £835 each:eek::eek: however i feel that because we haven't had a holiday for 3 years and probably won't have enough for 3 years after this :rotfl:then its worth paying a bit more for. its all inc too! bloody july premiums :(

    I don't know if I'm being silly but I'm not thinking about the interest (other than trying to switch onto 0% of course) I've just set a target and will work towards that - if I stayed on minimum payments it would be 535 a month but want to get up to £728 over the next eleven months. Reaching my target will be difficult as we are both self employed and my income is likely to take a big dip this year but i'll do my best x

    Another payment made - £1314.14/£10,000 so far. Wonder if I can get to 15% before the end of the month!

    please update my total to :


    #5 £ 807 / £ 7,007


    spreadsheet updated

    you forgot meee :rotfl: I am particularly happy as I have cracked 10%. Thanks for all your work in this - must be a mission keeping up with updates but it really motivates me to come back and 'report' my total :D

  • Hi Raspberry I've updated your totals. It sounds really confusing, I really don't know how all these banky bits work. Would a spreadsheet help you to track interest at all? Is it possible the statements came out before the payments were deducted?


    spreadsheet updated

    I hope I'm quoting this right, can't seem to get a hang of it on the tablet! Thank you for updating. You might be right about a spreadsheet. It doesn't help that when I'm logging in to find out interest %ages it says to contact them to find out. They're wiley! Will try to dig out old statements.
    Happy!
