    I lost my debit card today, first time ever!:

    As DH hadn't brought his with him and we were out and about I used my CC (0% on purchases) and transferred the money straight off when I got home. I rounded it up at bit so have made another £6 odd payment to the CC.

    Total is now: #99 £1914.59/£20,000
    Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
    Pay off £7000 - £1743 - 19.4%
    Make £2021 extra income - £99.75
  • Another £15 paid.....Thank you.... xXx :)
