    Hi both- it's not too late! I'm afraid i'm not near my laptop/spreadsheet until tomorrow night, so will let you know challenge numbers then! If you can just let me know how much you want to pay off.
  • Morning!

    Starting this month I want to pay off £2000 by the end of this year,

    Thanks!!!

    Hi all!

    #020 £1401.32/£4813.83 - 29% :j

    I put the money from my savings account against the loan. Great to see the loan under £1500, and I don't feel too worried about the lack of savings now. I got a letter from Lloyds saying that a £225 overpayment had saved me £35.26 in interest - given that I'm making that overpayment every month that's a massive deal!
  • Thank you!!

    I am aiming to pay off £9790 by xmas 2014... :eek:

    Yay! The lady was able to sort out my money for me and I am withdrawing the cash to pay off the holiday. Decimates my savings pot - but we do get a week of relaxation :)

    Reporting a payment of £516.50 for February, this isn't actually the full picture as I have just paid £458 off a Buy it Now for my ds's washer and dryer (this was a gift we promised them for when they moved house) however as this wasn't included in my target figure I'm not going to include it although I am feeling very virtuous as actually I'm desperate for a new carpet in my bedroom and this would have done very nicely especially as I had the full twelve months left on the washer and dryer but as it was accruing 39% interest I thought it was best to play safe and clear it now!


    #47 £1051.50/£8000 13.14%
    would love to make it to 15% by the end of the month if I can
