    So I'm really liking doing these Tilly ups they are keeping my debt free life in focus and making me feel very virtuous ... However, I am wondering if there is another wee small thing I can do every day to help me also stay more focused as I won't being doing Tilly ups every day ... Just when there has been movement on my accounts

    Anyone got any ideas of wee things I can start to implement ?

    Hi 365 yes that's it... It's been named after Tilly on the mfw board, she started checking her accounts everyday and rounding down to the nearest pound and over paying the money into her mortgage... I think the lowest anyone has done has been 1p ... It's working in the belief that every penny counts, and through time they will all make a difference and get us out of debt faster.

    I'm enjoying doing them and I think they will help me meet my £707 a month this month :)
