  • Sold a couple of very old mobile phones and used some of the money to pay another 1% of My CC and 1% of CC in Hubbies name.

    So
    CC1 1% £3.25 now 97% to go
    CC2 1% £7.00 now 99% to go

    In our quest to do both pay down and invest going to invest the other £10 in our rainy day fund, and then theres enough for a chocolate bar each.
