    Hello everyone, I was hoping to join in on the challenge but at the moment I was going to break the rules slight and round down to the nearest £5. My hubby is out of work so the extra £5 helps but he will be back to work in March and I will be able to do it proper. I have just looked at some accounts that I never use and transferred all the piddly money to an account I don't have a cash card for...making the total £1.56 :T

    I will also make my target to 30th November 2012 - £120
    Barclaycard: £4,217.55/£5 = 0.11% | Tesco £3,810.55/£3,770.55 = 1.05%
    Total: £8,027.80/£5 = 100%/0.06%
    Mortgage £99,692/£51,652.33 51.8%
    Car Loan: £9,217.20/7,527.38 81.67%

    Decided to bag up any change that would make full bags today out of my pot so that when I go to the bank I can pay what I have bagged up on a bill. Was quite surprised that I managed to bag up £30 and still alot of change in there. Not bad as we are only just in Feb.

    So total so far £30.
    APR NSD - 0/10
    Paid off in 2013 so far £125.00
    April Money made - £18.00
