Hi Tilly, thanks very much for enlightening me.:T
I didn't realise the process was named after a 'real' Tilly, I imagined it might be something much more obscure and complicated than it seems to be. I'll have a go at that one. Every little helps as they say:). Thanks again:beer:0 -

I've seen the term several times on various threads and they sound lucrative so might give them a try myself if possible.Tilly_MFW_in_6_YRS wrote: »Hi CarBootCrazy, I started moving all the pennies in my online bank accounts to a savings pot ready for mortgage overpayments. It sort of grew from there and people use them to OP credit cards, or build up savings, or OP mortgages.
It may only be small but each penny really helps and by the end of a month it's normally a few £.
Best wishes Tilly
Thanks Tilly for popping in to explain the above
Another £4.55 has winged its way over to my EF today

Had to move £50 back in to main account to cover some up-coming bills, However, I will soon be able to move money back over again once I know my electricity has gone out & my car is paid for.Never Knowingly Understood.
