The 'extra payment every week' challenge

A direct debit I pay monthly for £60.59 ended last month, but I'd still budgeted for it this month, so I went to pay it from credit card 1. Realised the balance on it is now £670 so rounded the payment up to £70 to make it a flat £600 owed. Think I must have number OCD or something though, as I then couldn't help myself & paid £6.21 to credit card 2 also, so that my bank account had a nice round balance too!Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Going to be a long day today been sorting stuff out for a - Ebay / Preloved and b- charity shop (things I think wont sell on ebay) just having a cuppa before I nip down to drop them off and come back to take some piccies and start listing things on Ebay / Preloved hopefully they will sell as there is some nice things. Everything sold will go towards my extra payment the following week.0
