    You can create an account and save your snowball, then any time you make a payment or get charged, you can record it and watch your DFD drop :)

    That was the first thing I thought of :rotfl:
    That was the funniest thread I've ever seen here - I was lapsing into hysterics for about two days every time I thought of it:rotfl:

    Hi Lysa..... because of your thread, I have just realised u can save ur snowballs.... I had a dodgy home-made Excel one for OH, but now I have a nice shiney one!
    From what I can tell, u only add in 'extra' payments that u make, and it automatically assumes that u have made the monthly payment at he level you set in the beginning (if that makes sense!?!)

  • I know! Its really sad, but I love putting in the extra small amounts and thinking 'oooh only another £20 and it'll be reduced by another month!'.... BUT it also makes u realise what a difference those few extra pennies can make!
    Off to find your diary now.......
