    Thanks :)

    As it stands my last payment on my loan will be 16th June 2011. I have just decided that I am going to try and have it paid by 31st December 2009, and if I miss that my second target is 16th June 2010. Eek! It can be done, it can be done.

    yes it can! don't say eek :eek: lol

    the great thing is the little bits sort of 'disappear' from view, so when you look at your balance you live to within the new limit, it really works.xx

    gave in and counted my small change jar :rolleyes: £17.16 in that, figure in my £1 tin is a bit hit and miss as i keep track in my spending diary of my pound but i also throw in any that i come across in the house, found 2 down the side of the sofa so that went in but because htat is a proper sealed tin i have no idea what is in it exactly

    going to count my loose one every month and either change into pound coins or transer into savings as i think my wee piggy will shortly be full

    just realised i posted this on the wrong savings thread :rolleyes: too many pots going on i think :rotfl:

    i need to hide my loose change jar because someone raided it the other day, i dont know if it was one of my children or one of their friends, needless to say i was very upset about it.:confused:

    aww thats a shame i had to warn my hubby to go nowhere near mine, teh pound one is not so bad as it needs the tin opener but the 2 pound and loose one aren't, so the temptaion is there not just for him but me as well lol

    Ohhh.... just checked my virtual sealed pot, and it has £21.76 in it! Only started properly this week :D.

    Sold 3 books on amazon £5.90 and quidco will pay me £6.12 at the end of this month! All that along with rounding down my current account (even though its in overdraft! - 0% don't worry!) gives me my total of £21.76, well happy!
    Credit Card 6.9% - £0/£2800
    Graduate OD 19.9% - [STRIKE]£1000[/STRIKE] Paid off Sept 11 :beer:
