    Scraped around and shuffled money about and found £24 to throw at my Barclaycard this week. Only £746 to go.

    £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! :p

    Courtesy of payday - £200 overpaid off my Barclaycard today. Have overpaid a whopping £1182.83 since March so very very pleased with this. Just £540 to go now! Then the Halifax card is next on the hit list!
