Sorry, not around as much now, but will be popping back to update when I can.
An extra £70.98 paid off the loan for me this week, £50.98 from a refund and £20 just to get it down into the next 100s bracket for motivation!
Wishing everybody a lovely month of overpayments and unexpected refunds (great result Snow White!) :T

:j Another unexpected refund! :rotfl:
Completely forgot I had to pay a £100 deposit when I started my access course in Sept and just rcvd a cheque in the post from college this morning. :T
Need to pay £320 to verry by 10/09 to avoid £85 interest :eek: So this £100 plus £20 I have set aside means I have 2 pay days to scrape £200 which should be doable yay!
Unfortunately I'm pretty sure that's the last of the refunds but they have been super helpful indeed.

Today I got paid from my second job. Normally I only put a small percentage towards my debt and the rest into my ISA (I have rotten floorboards in my house that need replaced) but this week I used up most of the wages and made an extra payment of £141.88 towards my Halifax credit card so that is now paid off, whoop whoop!Extra Payment Every Week 2016 = £40.91

£7.45 overpayment to CC:T
Well it was originally £7.34 to bring the CC down to a nice round number but then I saw that my signature had a random 11p on it! So I paid another 11p to round that down.... But my CC needs rounding down again now :eek:LBM July '15: [STRIKE]£34,867.89[/STRIKE] :mad: £34,077.59 (1% paid) DFD:[STRIKE]Feb 2020[/STRIKE] April 2019 £2 Savers #129: £8 'Extra payment a week': £0

Lol - loving the "rounding down" conundrum discussion. I do round down but only because I'm too lazy to work out percentages :rotfl:
