    Finally got round to phoning Co-op to overpay my Tilly Tidies from December £6.92. Staff on their phones have always all been lovely, got a stroppy one today who said I couldn't overpay such as small amount! I got him to change his mind though.

    So overpayment of £6.92 for number 24 please.

    I really liked this post and your perseverance :T

    I use the payment a day (PAD) threads as motivation for paying off debt and still get a kick when my CC statement is about 10 pages long with all the little payments I make every day :D

    550 paid off today, taking Jan total to 2550.
    I'm now paying less than £12 interest a day (it was over 18 when I started!), and my balance is where it's supposed to be after 8 years (after only 3). Still a very long way to go!
    Thanks JCL
