Hello
Non smoking still going really well and have planned all my lunches for this week so putting the weekly £30 in early. Also did my tax return and turns out the tax man owes me a sizeable chunk. Will confirm amount once it's definitely in my account and that will be going towards my debts. Hurrah!£3707.05/£10,0000 -

Just to confirm, are we doing payments made or principle paid off or a mixture of both?
Some people are counting all payments made, my target is just how much I reduce my debt by so does not count minimum payments, I check my balance after the interest has been added and see how much the balance has been reduced by.
