Posts: 1,890 Forumite
I have just been doing my monthly budget for Feb, and whilst I post on peoples SOAs, I have just realised :doh: their is no council tax in Feb/Mar ,instantly £147.00 a month better off in Feb/March:j.
I supposed I had better clear the credit card bill that landed on my doorstep this morning for £290.(0% may I add).

Good Idea ZTD, I have a saving account at 6.5%, I'll shove it in there, I have no debt other than the mortgage and thought I may as well clear this, but if I can make money, I may as well, I must keep remembering not all Debt is bad debt.

It's both Feb and March hun, unless you've asked to pay over 12 months to reduce payments. It also applies to water rates

It is Feb and March assuming that you pay your council tax over 10 months and not 12 months."Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does, except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place." — Abigail Van Buren0 -
:T Feb and March are the reasons I keep my council tax over 10 months instead of 12..... don't tell my OH tho! I'll still be taking his half from him, but putting it towards his CC bil instead!'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars' - Oscar Wilde0

Thanks ZTD - you've just helped me too! I have a cc with 0% until 09/08 and was going to start paying next month at £500 pm and clear it in next 6 months, but will now put in my high interest savings account (as well as my council tax and water rates for Feb & March) and pay off when due. :j

Yes Feb and March. I pay water rates to 2 companies - one to bring and one to take away... one of these is paid over 8 months and the other 10 months... most odd but helpful!
:heartpuls CG :heartpulsEver wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.0 -
Woohoo - just paid mine (ok, it's a few days late) - can start saving up for the inevitable rise in CT in April...
