    Now in an ideal world I would be making a huge overpayment this week as I have just recycled my old iPhone for £124. However, it's a really tight month this month and I have to find £200 for Easter holiday clubs for the boys, at least they are cheaper than child minders! So I have paid and extra £20 and the rest is going away to pay for the Easter clubs :o

    Congratulations rachelja on your first ever overpayment and well done mini jaxsmar on the A :T

    Today I sold some silver for £20 so I bunged another £5 to it and made a £25 payment to my sister to reduce what I owe her.

    At the risk of being told off by Betty for making an extra payment 3 days in a row, I'll be back tomorrow with my usual bank account tidy for Friday!!
