ElmoR said:No 45 checking in with a whooper overpayment of £2148.37 for July. The pennies took us under the £10,000
Yes, I'm one of those who stands at the petrol pump to try to round up to a x.00 as well.
Thanks julicornElmoR xYou're in good company on this thread. I used to do that with my mortgage account but the lag in the BS updating and the adjustment in interest always meant it was a fail. So now I just do it with the fuel pump (I might be able to remember how to use that, having bought fuel once since March) and the C/As!
