    Emily - I love this idea. I have a massive HFC credit card bill that I would like to snowflake away, they have just raised interest rate to a whopping 33.9% ! I've BT'd some of it but it needs a serious thrashing it stands at £7066, not a smiley icon anywhere that can show my hooror at this nasty piece of plastic.

    So I'm going to pay a minimum of £3 a day starting from tomorrow. My snowball says it will be gone by August 2010, but I want it gone August 2009.

    Now is that comfy chair free over there ? I have jaffa cakes.....

    Welcome, have added you on the list :D .

    40 challengers now :j .

    My search around my boyfriend's flat has only come up with 5p so far :p - but he is here so I have to be sneaky!!

    Cool thread. I'm going to be saving every day. It may not be much but we need a new fridge freezer. Our old one keeps opening itself...not very healthy!
