    Well its pay day so I have decided to be brave and over pay £100 straight away. I will pay more through the month but i thought i would start as I mean to go on!

    Ive also drawn out money from the bank so i dont use my card through the month. its harder to spend if i have to spend actual money. Anything left over i will pay back in and transfer onto my egg loan.

    Well done to everyone who is making overpayments. I like the idea of rounding your account to the nearest £5 every time you log in online. I think i will have to steel that idea.

    ooh, I'm going to be getting £40.52 from Quidco this month! I've had a couple of betting site cashbacks both come through in the last couple of days!

    Won't add it to my total though until it hits my bank, probably late next week.

    Evening everyone. Can't believe we have got 20 members in our little challenge so chuffed :D

    Been a good day for me so far as we got paid :T and hubbies car passed its MOT. It's a pretty new car but you just never know do you and with our luck I was expecting something to be wrong.

    Have two weeks off work as well now, not going away just doing some DIY type things at home so will be using the time to get my finances up to date and work out figures for overpaying this evil card and getting some bits on Ebay.
