Scraped around and shuffled money about and found £24 to throw at my Barclaycard this week. Only £746 to go.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

£6.00 today.
Took out the money I wanted to spend for the week in cash and have £6 left over so using that.
Great news on finding the £15... putting things in a ''safe place'' and forgetting about them is my forte. Nice wee find though![STRIKE]Credit Card 17.9% = £460 paid off 2013[/STRIKE]!
£1000 overdraft 0% = 0/£1000
Owe parents for car = £410/£2950
Owe SAAS £240/£548
BF Lend £0/£200
And I'm still pretending my student loan doesn't exist until I earn enough that they ask for it!
