    Hey everyone

    Still not cheque but i called yesterday and they said they will post it today for next day delivery so here is hoping :)!

    Loan and interest has went out and in. When I get my cheque. £500 to Florida. £200 to pay off overdraft and £138 for passport renewal. I will pay £34.01 to loan making it down to £1750. This leaves me with £127.99 which I will leave in my account for first payment of my car which will be taken off on 12th May.

    Have a great day all oh and 23 days until payday x
