    I paid 7p off my CC today as it was a random sum in my bank account. This is getting ridiculous! :rotfl:

    I think 7p is fab, its also something I would do.

    Oh also have just notice your signature, your saving towards your overdraft, which is £1000 I'm doing exactly the same thing/amount - Good Luck

    Yup, I'm treating it as another debt, and one which needs to be paid by July otherwise it becomes interest-bearing. I have taken the cash out of there now to pay for a week's tuition for a course I'm starting this week (it was just being 'minded' by the account all month so I couldn't accidentally spend it), and the rest might as well go off my CC as there interest is low in my account (I had started to think about using it for something else, but I've realised that's fruitless, so it's going toward earning me less interest to pay off.) I will start again soon...but it's a great theory! ;)

    Best of luck to you as well, Duckie!
