    <<sneaks back in and hovers at the back of the room>> hello all .... I've been AWOL for the summer, combination of holidays and family visitors ... but as school term approaches I'm back, and want to get back on the overpayment wagon!

    £2.30 overpayment today, to tidy up my bank balance.

    £5.50 to the CC for me today. Coming down nicely- I've already paid off at least twice what I normally would in a month:T I've been reading the debt free diaries and am so in awe of what people are achieving. Wish I'd found this years ago.

    Sammyanne Looking at your signature.. £20.62 and you'll be in the 8's!! Brilliant!
  • Hello! £100 overpayment this week - that's the amount I try to do as an extra amount each month, usually I hive off the money into a short-term piggybank and then watch it dwindle as the month goes on .... this month I'm stopping that and just paying it out before it gets nibbled at!

  • Thanks Picklepot! I haven't updated my signature recently so will work that out tonight and post. Would be such a nice surprise if it was already under 9k! :)
