Too true, but I don't recall ever seeing that I couldn't withdraw silly amounts. I've been withdrawing less than £6, even less than £2 with no sign of any fees. I'm most confused, I thought everyone had it like that.
I do have a micropayments account, so all payments under £10 work out cheaper 5p + 20%instead of 20p + 5%
I haven't been charged for small withdrawals but I wish I'd known about the micropayments before I'd sold all my stuff!
Made a couple of small payments today but will wait for a more impressive dent in the debt before updating.
Tonight me and the girls have finally sorted our mini hol at the end of the month (been trying to book for months) so we are going to Hoseas0ns on south coast with our own hot tub and lodge! Not too expensive either so it's all goodBecame Mrs Scotland 16.01.16Became homeowners 26.02.16

I still managed an NSD yesterday by rushing home after work to eat my forgotten lunch for dinner, then rushing straight out again :j
I did get really hungry tho after only having my snacks for lunch! The lengths I will go to for an NSD!! This thread has really changed me!
P.S. I have a travelcard so the extra journeys didn't cost any extra, tho it was an almost 2 hour round trip!Debt Free by Xmas 2012 member #281: £6,627.08/£7,735.45 (85.67%)0
