Will try really hard this month.Debt free from April 2012:T:T:T:T:j:j:j:j0 -
My first month completed and I'm declaring at £255.91 :eek: - I thought we spent somewhere between 200 and 250 a month but wasn't sure and so I've kept a record and it's over what I thought but at least it's not that much over and does include 2 trips to the fish and chip shop and lunch out (cheaply) twice and far too much money to Sainsburys...
So my target for July is going to be £230 please - about half way between what my target was for June and what I actually spent
We do have a pretty well stocked freezer and cupboards atm though so I'm hoping to make good use of these things during July.Initial Mortgage January 2024 - £160,000
Initial Mortgage free date - January 2058
Mortgage as of 1st February 2024 - £159,134.98
Overpayments to date - £79.62
Current Mortgage free date - January 20580 -
I blew the budget by about £100 making it somewhere near to £180 for June instead of £80 so I will set a target of £200 for July and see if I spend anywhere near to this!final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550
