    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hi all

    Baby steps but another £53.81 off the total:j

    - £4.61 from interest paid annually (!) on a savings account I use as a storage pot - (have moved directly into an OP on the V card)
    - suspending my CL package - £25.20 this month alone
    - no cleaner this week £24.00

    Good stuff - like making a note of it as it helps me feel positive about the small steps, so also off to update my sig.

    Also hoping for a NSD!
