    How does an over payment look on there? Does it appear as an over payment? Hope that makes sense?

    I thought I made an absolute mess of it cos I couldn't speak at all. I left feeling quite embarrassed and like I had blown it :o:o

    ...but got a message a couple of hrs ago to say they thought I was the strongest candidate and they would like to offer me the job:eek:

    Well done! Can't believe I missed this on my last skim read! Although I did read it initially as 'strangest candidate'... :rotfl:

    Hi

    Any chance I can join this thread as Christmas is my goal? I have £18754 which I want to pay off by Christmas 2015. This consists of:

    Post Grad loan - £10,000 - if paid by end of April 2015 there will be no interest charged
    Next Terms Fees £1,888 - this will be the end of anything owed to university
    Halifax Credit Card £1,866 - 0% is due to end middle of June 2015
    Parents £5000 - Didn't have this much off them but with interest and exchange rate at the time it is the amount that I should pay back. It is owed since my marriage ended nearly 16 years ago but this year is the year to pay them back and show I appreciate them getting me out of a hole all those years ago.

    Thanks for listening,

    TTFN xxx

    Hi there :) Everyone's welcome here, you're number 162. Good luck!
    Hi, Am I too late to join?
    Thanks

    Hi to you too, of course you're not too late. Let me know a target (doesn't have to be your whole debt despite the title!) and I'll update the front page, you're number 163.

    That would be nice! No, nothing special like that I'm afraid. You just get DFBXmas brownie points instead :rotfl:



    Front page updated people, check your totals :T.

    First call for all remaining March payments to be declared...
