    Nothing much happened on the debt-busting front for a few months.

    Had a fair bit of financial outlay due to unforeseen events but hopefully I'm back on track now. Cars, laptop went bust, etc. Despite these setbacks it looks as tho overall debt has increased minimally, but now time to reduce it again

    Just done the budget for July & for the 1st time in several months looks like a chunk of debt should be paid off this month

    Pretty uneventful & boring week. But never spent much

  • Haven't up-dated for a while but been able to reduced debt a fair bit in the past few months. Hopefully get it below £30k by year end :)

  • Managed to get below the £30k mark by throwing job bonus at the debt. Getting below £30k is a huge psychological boost for me.
