    Still plugging away - Almost to 60% now.

    It's been a pretty good month. I've managed to overpay my overpayments by £100 which is always a bonus.

    We had two cheap nights out this month and had plenty of change from £100 so that helped. Hoping for another frugal month in Feb but DH may be away on business which could be expensive (not sure what he can claim back).

    £10 a day didn't really get off the ground this month but I do have a lot of things to put on Amazon. Maybe this weekend...

    Well done on the overpayments MrsB :)

    January definitely seems to have been harder £10 a day challenge wise. Never mind, there's always Feb! :D

    Up to 60% today, and I've also made it to £125 in the £10 a day challenge. I could have done a lot better but I'm happy that I've got something to show for this month.

    Closing in on the 66% which is my next goal.

    Project of the week is to get a box running for Amazon trade-in.

    Good luck with the Amazon box - finishing filling mine is on my to-do list this week as well :)

    66.66% is in sight. I think it is great how quickly you are doing this. Since I started following your journey you seem to have sped along. It probably doesn't feel quick to you but you are doing really great!

    Thanks both!

    It doesn't really feel that quick - I feel like I've been doing this forever! But I know that really it is quick progress.
