  • £1.65 to savings account towards a bill when enough in there to pay it. Looked at bank balance and realised hardlly and money left and got another 3 weeks to pay day so going to have to be a lot of NSD's for me.
    Christmas presents will have to be last minute out of nexts months pay, as at least I have 12 days off next month so thats a lot of petrol money saved so shall use that to buy presents. Does life ever get any easier??
    MAY NSD's

  • I've started Pa(wir)D - that's for when I remember. I have 3 debts - 2 CC's and a Next card. So I am moving £3 at a time into my savings and when I make minimum payment I will add this one on top. I'm not paying it off each day in case of emergencies but it's nice to know I can't touch it!!!

  • Hi i only started this at the beginning of this week and i'm finding it very addictive i look forward to transferring money over to my cc every day and watch the balance drop. Normally i put in £7.60 but today due to have brought bits and pieces at lunchtime i could only afford £5. I have stopped smoking today as well so extra money will be paying out. fingers crossed i can last the cravings and my boyfriend can survive the mood swings. lol

    Hi all.

    Logged onto internet banking and found that i have had a £7.60 interest rebate, not sure why, im guessing its due to me making extra payments before my minimum amount is due :confused:
    Anyway on top of that i have also paid another £5 today, will soon be under £2700 - for now anyway before they add interest back on :rolleyes:

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    p.s where is double trouble?! I miss all the figures!!
