Hi all,
Another few small payments out today so that is another £20 off my debt. Also got some money out the bank this morning to give to the bank of dad but will update once he has accepted it as he is a bit stuborn! Was taking 20% of the ebay items but he said something about taking 50% so might owe less than I thought!!!
