    another £100 from eBay, shame I don't have an endless supply of things to sell in the garage, I do have a lot of things for a car boot sale though, as much as I don't want to do one, I need to get rid of the clutter in garage.

    A normal loan payment made today - after interest, the capital has reduced by £30.82 so my sig has been amended.

    I'm slowing right down now - expensive school trips are looming and need to be paid for.....so not much more than the minimum payments are being made right now.

    Still, in the combined time that the two challenges have been running (about 18 months), I have paid off capital of £37151.65.....not bad going at all :T

  • Good morning everyone

    Well thought i would give you all an update though not much to update you on. A cheque from my items i sold on ebay has cleared so that is £15 more towards my debt fund i know it is not much but everything counts. Today i am going to pay off my overdraft so that will be £500 less debt which means my debt will be down to £4000.

    :)
