    Chipping away, I like paying 0.2% as its a round number (£13) and manageable most days. But tmr will be down to 0.1% so £6.50 as owe my lad a trip out...snooker hall :)

    More CDs packaged up ready to go off to their new homes, total at £36 which isn't too bad considering they haven't been listened to for many years. All going towards the loan overpayments of course.

  • Hi
    I was on here in 2013, did really well, then lost focus and I'm back here again. My 1% is £36.

    My 1% is £650 and woohoo up to 7% so far this year.
    Helps that I've just been paid.

    I combine this with the PAD thread, helps me remember and sometimes I forget and pay twice hehe
