    They just had one this weekend, so probably in another 2-3 weeks time.

    so happy it was pay day today! i managed to do better than i thought i would last month, so I made a small overpayment of £10 on my HSBC CC and then rounded down my account by paying £7.10 into my Virgin CC

    not a huge amount, but I'm being cautious in case the guestimates I've made for things happening in the next few months are completely wrong! Come June though and I'm gonna really start over paying the CCs!

    so my total is now £19.79/£1000

    just out of interest...are others taking into account their monthly DDs as well as any overpayments into their total? I've only been counting the extras, but I'm not sure if this is right....
