an accidental over payment of £12 to my new halifax cc as I was worried they hadn't taken the money out of my account for the first dd, and i couldn't get in touch with them via phone. so i paid them what i'd agreed i'd pay monthly, only to phone them today and find out that it starts on the 28th THIS month, not LAST month! doh! a relief that I'll have no late payments, and at least that's an extra £12 paid!:)
so new total is..... £457.90/£2117
LBM: January 2012
Debt Free as of 20th September 2012
Savings: ISA:£14.74/IF:£3500ish)
