  • Since my last update, I've reduced by £60 to £3,390, which is still higher than my total when I started this challenge...

    Currently my debt free date is going to be June, instead of May but I am hoping to bring that back as my June payment is looking like it'll be around the £50 mark - I'm sure I can make that up somewhere along the line.
