    Just tranferred £5.65 TCB money across to the 0% card and amended signature - how annoying is that paid off figure now - might have to transfer an odd 99p! :rotfl:

    I'm about to be saved that hassle Redo - and it's thanks to you! :rotfl: You reminded me to go and check the Secret Survey Site where I thought I might have £3 to cash out - and the very pleasant surprise was that in fact I had £6 so that has been requested to go to PayPal and will get transferred straight to the bank and thence to the 0% card once it's landed. :T:T I'm hoping I can just "not notice" the odd penny in the amount paid until that's landed, as once it goes to a figure starting with 9 I'll be far less inclined to let the odd pennies annoy me! :rotfl:

    Thanks all, and yep, LOVE an Island! (We actually have a list of UK Islands visited - 30 to date, most of them Scottish, obviously! And that doesn't include Canvey or Mersea Islands in Essex, although perhaps it should?!)

    Having a lovely pottering sort of day here - got lots of odds and ends done this morning and a fair bit of general tidying up too. Planning on ambling out for a run a bit later in the afternoon I think.

    Just transferred the Secret Survey money across to the card - and amended signature! LOVING that 9 on the beginning of the paid off figure! :T
