    £134.10 paid off BC today. Bit disappointed - this month I kept all my extra earnings aside and decided to pay off at the end of the month (which it is for me now, payday-wise). I had £500 in that account at one point this month and it's all gone to stop me or the joint account giong over the overdraft limit. WHere does it all go??! We did have an unexpected car bill for £300 but still... disappointed. Will be doing the same this month and hopefully will have a bit more left.

    Haven't updated for a while - or it seems like that at least!!! Have cleared another 742.07 off of the mortgage and another 196.99 off the M&S card. That brings my total to nearly 16K now:j
    Have just got new nursery fees which have gone up by 1,200 a year for 2 kids for 3 days!!!!!:eek: Not sure hiw much of an impact this might have on things but at least the mortgage rate has come back down another 1/2 %! I'll keep trying!
