She's Gone!
Today is a historic day. Today is the day I paid off the last of our joint account overdraft. The bank have been instructed to close the account with immediate effect.Why has it taken so long? Well, for starters, we had £1000 of overdraft between us. Secondly, she's been refusing to pay any of it. While I argued the point with her, I've been paying only a token amount (£50/month) to bring it down. Last week, I got a text off the bank, telling me a deposit of £500 had been made to the account. That's not quite the full amount, given the interest that's been building while she's been stalling, but it's close enough. So today I cleared the rest of it (about £250)
That means that, as well as being £200 a month in rent better off, I'm also £50/month better off because I'm not paying the overdraft off. Yay, I'm feeling good again!
