Bit of a set back this month due to car troubles. An unexpected expense but I'm really pleased that I've managed my money well and as a result I was able to pay for the repairs without resorting back to a credit card. :j

I managed to pay £420 off this month.
£1426/£6000 = 23%

Oh, well done FizzyVimto! It must be so satisfying to have enough control over your finances to be able to absorb the unexpected! :T:T:T

March was a sucky month for us, as we lost one of our cats unexpectedly. Other than being emotionally wrung out, it also hit us quite hard financially, as we hadn't insured him. We'd started a savings fund for them, but there was no way enough in there to cover it.
The finances are still recovering, as I'm trying to move the money off the credit card with interest on to the two that don't have interest. Although they've confirmed the transfer, it's not showing up. :mad:

So. I think we've skidded back to 27% from 35%, but there's a chance I'm double counting. I will have to refresh later this month.

Oh no Sa1sysoo, I'm so sorry to hear that. Losing a pet is horrible. I hope you've not skidded too far back.

Hi, could I join your challenge please? I'd like to pay off my loan first as it has potentially only 9 months left to pay but I want to pay it before then.

Floella80 1% = £32

Thanks!

Is it too late to join in? I'd like to start with the hubby's credit card, currently sitting at £450, so I'm looking at 1% = £5 which should be more than doable!!
