    Made my first overpayment a whopping £5 :rotfl:

    Just checked the account my Quidco goes into and was a fiver in there so thought I'd shove that on the card. Every penny counts.:D

    Doodledoo,

    Your right. Every bit counts when trying to pay off debts.

    Just added up my credit cards and loan and it turns out I had miscalculated (in a good way!). My signature should be £22,778 instead of £23,085. Can't believe it. Am thrilled and it has re-motivated me!

    Am off to change my signature. For once being useless with maths has stood in my favour!:j

    Yay, off the starting block with a payment of £18.04, hoping to make a small overpayment later today too.

    Well done cleosmum. Fingers crossed for another overpayment for you today.

    Yay for quidco. I was paid an amazing 32p this month lol

    I can better that one doodledo - I got 10p this month :D

    Next month will be better.........:T with £110 coming to me which can go off that dratted egg card.

    Other than that I have ground to a bit of a halt - OH is "between jobs" so every penny is accounted for in getting by, rather than by overpaying the egg card......bah!!!

    I still aim to have it gone by Christmas though.....by hook, crook or ebay!!
