    i have a day dream fund which i said about in my last postm but i also have a virgin credit card which is 0% at mo so they are only taking min payment of £25 per month, so i was thinking should i put extra money into a saving account and pay off lump sum, or should i just make loads of small payments every week/month?

    in reality i was thinking of the latter... what would you guys do?

    as once this is paid off i was then thinking of getting a cashback credit card, and paying off in total every month, and the cashback earned can go into my daydream fund as well

    Hi ya ...

    I've got some large debts so i personally would pay off the extra each day / week to the card ....... but that is only because i prefer to see the total decreasing on the bill each month ... and to try and save myself some interest ......

    If i put the money into a savings account , it would never be in there long enough to make any interest ! :o because for me ..... there is always another bill to " tackle " ......

    To be honest i think it depends if you have any other debts ......

    I love the name " daydream fund " ....... it'll be a good few years before i could even think of one ..... but hey ho .....

    Good idea about the cashback card ....

    Keep smiling ....

  • Hi everyone


    Did not do pad yesterday or today ..... but I have £3 in my purse that I can put towards overdraft tomorrow!

    Saturday got letter from BG. Thanking me for custom, next year service plan up another £5 a month ...thanks a lot. Next year apparently if I do not call them out I can get a discount !!!!!!!! but I DID NOT CALL THEM OUT THIS YEAR ... CAN I HAVE MY DISCOUNT NOW? (doesn't work like that)

    Friday night no parking space outside house so parked 50 yards away. Guess what, over night some so and so vandalised my car :mad: (now my computer not working properly>>>>>) door hanging off > they got in car but it has a steering lock> that fooled them> broke collar off steering column> unable to move car> they looked for cover of radio thingy but i have it > ha ha> no use them pinching radio then!!!!!!! car very only old > insurance people would write it off> so i will have to gently ease door back and get replacement collar for column and drive it with gentle breeze blowing through car> sort of air conditioning ........

    That's my gripe today...still alive and dealing with my debts. motto.... don't let the so and so's get you down ...

    have a good day everyone .. must be better than mine

    thanks for listening ... I feel better now

    Afternoon all,
    paid £5 to HSBC CC today and managed to get myself some more hours at work next week, so thats a bit more money that i will be able to put straight towards the debts.
    Hope everyone has had a good weekend.

    £2 in my pot. Think this may be my last payment for a while...Sri Lanka is looking hot as well as pricey!! Fly on Saturday, very excited!! :)

    Oh and have decided not to go to my works xmas do - its £15 a head plus drinks etc, decided I didn't really want to go and is a bit costly when I know I will be spending a lot in the next couple of weeks.
