#46 checking in, I rang Westcot o2 and got them to remove the admin fee of my account and I paid £72.78. One small debt down but it feels like a victory and a step in the right direction.
Can my updated total be £72.78/£700.25
This is the first thing I have paid off since joining MSE and I feel great, good luck everyone else this year and hopefully I'll be back with more updates like everyone will be
