The 'extra payment every week' challenge

Mint1955

OH found an old savings book with £70.55 in it guess where thats going :-)

Small change jar is being eyed up as I speak!!

Since my ridiculous LBM about it not having to be another line on the budget I am quite excited :-)

Hi guys, took a couple of bags of pennies to pay into the bank today. Unfortunately a sneaky 1 cent coin had found its way into the bag so had to pay in £1.99 - as I had already emptied my purse of coins before I got to the bank I couldn't round it up to an even £2.00 - very annoying as I like "tidy" amounts now...! Maybe I should make a special journey to pay in the 1p but not really worth the petrol cost is it ?!

Indeed, this is addictive... I can't wait for Friday, so that I can update!

Please can I join in? This sounds a real incentive to not make those small purchases eg a magazine or chocolate bar and to put the money towards paying off my debts. Silly me didn't realise you could pay off small amounts on your credit card as and when you have spare money. I thought you could only make one payment a month. I love the thought of my debt going down each week, even if it is only a small amount.

Hi All,

I've not posted for a while as not made any extra payments It's been a bad month and I've stuck my head in the sand and spent money I didn't have and haven't been brave enough to look at the bank account

I did pay £20 this week on the cc. My £2 pot had a burst of activity so I went to the bank and paid it in.

Pay day today so hopefully back on track for me
