Had to use the 3 £2 coins I was saving, so I transferred £6 from my bank account to the credit card this morning, as that's where they would have ended up eventually. Also sent an extra 57p to make my balance look tidy.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Usually payment for CC today but rounded up to nearest £10.00 and therefore overpaid by £6.95. Nearly at the £200 mark can't wait.
Well done everyone0 -
Why is it, when you have a bit of money in your purse to spare, you never get any £2 coins or 20p's in your change? However, when you are down to your last £10 and you spend nearly £6, you get given 2 x £2 coins and the rest of the change nearly all in 20p's ..............all of which HAVE to be saved!!!!
Looks like a skint weekend for me!Debt Free Date: November 20170
