    Hi everyone

    m so so sorry I haven't been updating my totals, life has been pretty hectic. I've completely changed my job, went on a few intense training courses, and now have a better paid job than I did before.

    have still been plugging away at the debt, so my total now stands at


    NUMBER 29. £4332.09/£8000.

    I'm sorry I can't seem to increase my fonts or the colour.

    hope everyone is well x
