I pay anything from 1p to £1,000's + at a time and I don't think it makes any difference.... just pay as and when you can.
Hi Lulabelle
I'm not sure? I know we can have a mortgage break if the worst happens, and we can pay as much as we like without penalties. From what the girl at the bank said I don't think there is much difference.MFW 142- Oct 1999 £55,0000, Jul 2013 £27,593.17 Oct 2013 £26,531, Dec 2014 £22,600, Dec 2015 £20,190, Jan 2016 £19,944.19 Mar 2017 £16,944.76 Decluttered 207/2018

Just OP as and when you have the money then - the sooner the money is paid the sooner you stop paying interest on the amount you OP.0

Well done on the car insurance! They're out to get you with renewals, arent they? Does your company offer cashback themselves through quidco? If they do it might be worth taking out the new policy directly if it comes in at the same price

Thanks Beckky, just checked to see if they do a better deal direct but sadly no:(. Still quite pleased with my saving though, and its the first time i've used quidco.

Worth a try and anything is better than nothing!
Try Blackcircles for your new tyres and see if they have a garage near you. They're usually reasosable for tyres, you pay online and they order them into the garage and give you an appointment and you just pop in and get them on. Quidco cashback too the last time I used them

Thanks Becky I'll check that out. Luckily I have a handy husband who can fit my tyres and a nephew whos a mechanic.
Sold one of my signs on ebay today, so thats another £15.00 minus P&P in the pot. :j Need to get cracking with my Halloween crafts and get some stuff listed. Does anyone know if this weekend is free listing?
Didn't get anything done this morning as got hooked reading a debt free diary
, and drinking copius amounts of tea. Now thats not getting the household chores done is it. 
Worked at holiday club this afternoon, cooking tea now then off to mums in a bit with her b-day present.
Was thinking of giving surveys another go. Have done a few VO surveys but get phased out most of the time. Does anyone know of any good survey sites?
Well teas nearly ready, so I'll check in later.

Morning folks
Feeling very :j:j:j this morning as just sold 3 items on the bay of e totalling £41.99 minus the pesky fees
, but all extra for the pot. Undecided whether to add this to the OP pot or put in my savings as they really need building up for a rainy day.
Got to pop up PO this morning and need bread and milk from the shop, so sadly not a nsd for me. Then back home to work on some signs and make a start on my halloween items and the housework needs doing especially the dreaded bathroom which I always put off cleaning coz I hate doing it
.
Spent ages yesterday looking for my bread machine instructions and can't find them anywhere. I'm sure i've seen a site somewhere that you can get instruction manuals from? will have to google it. Then maybe I can dust it off and make a loaf.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Hi Lulabelle
I'll pop a pic up when I get them made up
. I'm on the lookout for an old smallish dollshouse I can paint into a haunted house at the moment. Got the idea from pinterest. Pinterest is a dangerous place :rotfl:.
Yesterday went from a good bay of e day to a fan-tabby-dosey bay of e day
, sold 3 items initially and the same person bought another 4, so I'm going to be very busy crafting this weekend.
I've also re-discovered the comping section of the site, so spent quite some time entering competitions last night.
Hope everyone has a great day.
