That's really good Sun Addict!
£6.14 for me. Need to nip into bank and speak about doing some rearranging.. I'm a bit shy about stuff like this but paying interest when I don't necessarily need to is silly so that's on the to-do list for the week![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!0 -

It's been about a year since I made any extra effort to clear my debts, although they've been gradually reducing. However, I'm back on the wagon today with an overpayment of £200 on the credit card.
