    ABBA and Kirsty P. Sorry being a bit thick I get the food shopping thing. I don’t think I can do that but obviously I need to budget for food. I don’t use supermarkets only the greengrocer and fish shop every few days and so it sort of costs what it costs. ABBA what do you mean rounding what account up? I can only pay amounts £10 or over to my cc. Do you save up the bits in cash or on a spreadsheet and then pay it. Apologies for not getting this.


    I check my bank account every day so I aim to make a payment a day (PAD) if my account is sitting at £376.51 I'll round my account down to the nearest £10 .........in this case I'll sent £6.51 towards whatever debt I'm tackling. If my account is sitting at £370 I'll aim to send £10 towards whatever debt I'm tackling but it depends on what bills are still coming out like my mortgage etc as I don't want to leave myself short xx

    Does that make sense blackberry :D

  • Yes I understand Abba when my account isn’t in overdraft I’ll do it but at the minute I’m stuck with a Halifax account which charges daily interest so the less I have in on any given day the more they charge me but yes a great idea.

    I am not on the front list yet but wanted to change my target anyway. Have a plan now for the year and need to pay off 1 CC and the rest is on another which I think is not doable but will aim for half of that one instead as it is on 24mths 0% so would make sense to get half done this year to be on target. So... total target is £10014, eeek.

    £120/£10014
