    Payment made today for Capital One CC £58.36 (Feb Payment)

    January Total £733.09
    Feb Total so far £684.87

    Total overall £1417.96 / £15000

    I was hoping to pay more off but with 3 upcoming Birthdays this month it's a struggle! On the upside it's also my Birthday later in the month and my family usually give me money so I've asked them to pay it straight into my Debt savings account! :T

  • #46 here.

    I was checking over my spending in January and realised my loan was for £25 more than I wrote here but I had paid that anyway at the start of the month.

    So just to keep myself in line and right can I update my dealings to show:

    £148.42/£1076.25

    Thanks and good luck everyone :D

    #121 Checking In. First payment of challenge :)

    £230/£4000

    Decided to add up all payments I make but also do a running total of how much of the £4000 debt has been paid when interest taken into account. Will put that bit in my signature, I think:)
