Most current accounts will let you set up a payment up to 31 days in advance (actually a lot of savings accounts will too, all mine do). So if you don't want to set up a direct debit just go to your normal pay a bill selection and put the amount you want to pay and instead of pay it now put in the date you want it sent to your card. (Remember to leave enough time before the due date for the money to be transferred).

If your cc balance is going to be zero after you pay it, it doesn't matter but otherwise you need to make sure you pay at least the minimum after the statement is produced but before the due date otherwise that month's statement will be overdue.
