    Just a thought but some months don't, mine was my cat being ill, on the mend but vet bills are hard, I would def get pet insurance if I could go back as it would have worked out much better, then again if I could go back I wouldn't have debts in the first place :money: lol. Just take the bad month(s) as they come and pay off a bit less, mentally every extra pound paid does make you feel better, good luck x

    Congratulations. It's so inspirational to read when someone becomes debt free, I hope to become debt free by December this year or at the very latest early next year.
