Hi there Lucky - we meet here again!
£10 for me today. New debt total £2870.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Hello all, £3.60 this past fortnight.
I'm due to get some backpay in my next paycheck (I can't believe it, but we're actually getting a 1% payrise this year. Very lucky!). Finger's crossed it will mean I've overpaid off more than last year which will be lovely!

I've now paid off more this year than last, which is brilliant! Couldn't have done it without the motivation of this forum. Thanks everyone!0 -

Ah I'm jealous purple! I wanted to pay off more this year than last too but I'm going to fall short! Still, I've paid off more than I would have without this challenge and for that I'm eternally grateful.
