Well done everyone on your totals, its amazing where you can find the extra incentive when you are determined to get rid of your debt. I hope I have my second wind for this half of the year, starting to feel a bit insecure with no savings for emergencies as I am self employed and I also work as a locum.
Need to get rid of my debt and build savings...

I am finally going to start my debt free challenge, I am going to start one card at a time, so I am going for barclays goldfish, this has just over £5,000 on it.
I am still waiting for a start date for my job, but I have some spare cash so I thought I would use it for this (no cash is ever really spare).
So £81 to my debt pot.0 -
