  • Paid another £130 to my credit card today. I'm transferring all spare cash to it which is leaving me short at times, so I've had to use it once or twice :( so as victorious a payment as I'd have liked! Have now paid £1160 /£12486 (9.3% I think)!

    I'm so sorry I try to enlarge and highlight figures every time but it's not playing!!
    Happy!
  • Just a quick update..

    I used to do that but it frittered, I find if theres always just a small amount in my account it makes me more organised. Plus I figure it's better in the CC they're not charging me as much interest and if I need to steal a bit back its better than nothing if that makes sense??

    Haha im the other way around :) if i have no cash in the bank i will just use the card and buy buy buy LOL

    Have to admit if its in my purse i do the same though... so i have to be very careful not to get cash out unless i have to...
