Hi 2Scratters,
Thanks for letting me in. Have had some big expenses just lately which I needed to put on the dreaded CC. It's on 0% but want it gone.
Since I'm starting in the middle of the year, I'm going to aim for £900, a bit ambitious but we will see how it goes.

Hi all,
Well, a good start to the challenge, £4.80 tidied away this evening.
I've also created a save the change account linked to my current account so that'll help towards the total.

@Divingmad off to a good start and making use of the save the change account too. Each time is use the banking app or go on line I always look to round the numbers too. This can give small gratification each time this happens and then when you move it towards payment that too is a smirk.
Just wait till the statement comes and all those small payments have added up for you.

Well, i have tidied another £6.45, which is a combination of spending roundups and rounding values in my account. It's a tad annoying that the roundup function on my account isn't immediate for all transactions, so I have another £1.34 that's not added in yet, so that'll get added to next week's total 😀I feel like a Pelican - everywhere I look there's a bill staring at me!LBM: March 2014 Current CC debt: £2048.29/£3666.53 (55.86% repaid) Current Challenges:Tilly Tidy: £2087.67/£2500 (83.50%) 3 to 6 month emergency fund #75: £3653.62/£6000 (60.89%)2

HA HA @Divingmad patience grasshopper, it will all come together. I was the same as you wanting to see the results of the effort you have made.
I am in a stage of tidying my savings accounts as have far too many and they need condensing so interest can look better.
I have simplified my DH savings accounts - I had set them up and my way is too complex for him. We all can't be the same

Ha ha, yes I know the feeling about tidying up accounts. The last month or so have been quite daunting with the amount of money I have gone through with one thing and another 🤬🤬
I've been rationalising my accounts and going back to basics, it's going to be a bit of a slog and maybe some bashing of the head against solid objects until I figure things out 🙂
On the plus side, I have another £4.57 tidied up 😁I feel like a Pelican - everywhere I look there's a bill staring at me!LBM: March 2014 Current CC debt: £2048.29/£3666.53 (55.86% repaid) Current Challenges:Tilly Tidy: £2087.67/£2500 (83.50%) 3 to 6 month emergency fund #75: £3653.62/£6000 (60.89%)2 -
Well, it's the end of the week and totalled my savings (seems easier to do it this way for me), on top of the previous £4.57, I tidied another £14.18, giving me a total of £18.75 😀.I feel like a Pelican - everywhere I look there's a bill staring at me!LBM: March 2014 Current CC debt: £2048.29/£3666.53 (55.86% repaid) Current Challenges:Tilly Tidy: £2087.67/£2500 (83.50%) 3 to 6 month emergency fund #75: £3653.62/£6000 (60.89%)2

@Divingmad great result and steady away is always to be a win. RL (real life) is hampering my focus but is clearly still subconciously happening - just checked my monthly balance for the month at 31.99. Thanks for the prompt.
