    Thanx Kitchenbunny, I think the momentum works better for me for little and often than big one off payments.

    Worked out I can afford to pay £270 to my overdraft this payday. This will bring it down to £650 ! I can't wait to see it at £650 :) Only a week or so to go until payday.

    Decided to hit the credit card for one last payment before payday. I'm feeling the temptation to shop so I might aswell 'spend' it by paying off part of the credit card. £125 payment - balance now £650.

    Thank you :) I have completely over estimated my wages for next month though, the overdraft payment of £270 is a pipe dream :( Feel silly now, was so excited but oh well.
