    Hello guys!
    No payments from me still :( I've got an excuse: I am a landlady now. I've just bought appliances for a kitchen, need to pay joiner to fit it in and gas engineer to issue a certificate.
    Keep going, friends!

    Sorry I have been absent for a while payment of £132 total £382/£750
  • Paid the whole balance of my credit card thanks to a back dated pay rise at work (this was unexpected!) £280/£280. Will just have to wait and see if there is any further interest added for the start of the month then I can close it down for good! One debt down 6 to go.

    Hi there
    I paid off another £60 so my new total is 228/565. It's so nice to see the balances come down. I'm already planning which debts should be tackled in the next challenge! Keep going everyone x
