    That sounds much better Jen, hopefully everything will work out from now on.

    I paid another £200 off of one of my overdrafts on Friday which means that I only have £1300 left of debt in my own name, the rest is technically my dads.

    Ollie (that's the new puppy) arrived on Friday so I haven't had much sleep, he is lovely though.
    Finally bought a home

    Overpayments since 27.03.19: £53,964.80
    Moving fund so far £2500 - Premium bonds £9,500
