NEW Challenge - The rounding off Challenge

This is inspired by the payment a day thread. Thanks.
Basically i've been a bit anal latley and while looking at my online bank i've realised those extra pennies and pounds above a round number are truly annoying me. for instance a balance of 421.26 so i thought why not use the 1.26 and pay it off a card. The next day after i looked at my credit card and the 1.26 had obviously made this a non rounded number too, so i thought i'll pay off a little bit to make this number round.
The next day however......etc etc.
I tried the payment a day but could never decide on how much to pay. This way i thought it gives me an amount to pay. its also flexible as can be pennies or pounds.
So i'm giving it a go! whoop.
Today credit card payment of 4.26 to make my balance 980.00 (nice and round).
