    @AntoMac thank you! Now concentrating on CC 2 which is the biggest at £2918 I know most people say to pay the smaller debts first but this one has a high monthly payment and I’d like rid of that before we move and take the bigger mortgage on so my PAD today are 
    £200 which is £100 to holidays and £100 to CC 2 have a great day everyone x

    Where on earth did May disappear to?!!  I've made a £25 PAD to EF today from various bits of interest on accounts and a Prolific payout.  Happy June all.
