I have managed £1.02 today. this was helped by me going into my local homebargain for my cleaning stuff and I just had to buy a 20p Jamie Oliver video. when I checked my recipt it shown the video at 49p so I told a guy on another till and he just oh I'll have to give it you out of this till in change!! I just thought yipee, is that sad? I actually want people to say they have to give me my change in small coins!! So total so far £2.62p ( I only started on the 3rd aswell).Credit Card 1 - £2900, credit card 2 - £6020 (0%).
Mortgage £84000 - 17 years left without overpayments.
