I am really struggling as we are trying not to spend, so don't seem to get much change. The only reason mine has gone up to £3.88 is because the car had to go in for a service yesterday so I empted the ashtray where there was loads of 2p & 5p coins! :-( doesn't seem like I will get £75 Jam Jar challenge! Oh well every bit counts toward christmas pressies.Credit Card 1 - £2900, credit card 2 - £6020 (0%).
Mortgage £84000 - 17 years left without overpayments.
Got to get organised, first credit card 1 £0/£29000 -
