    Yup - 30.19% :T
    There were more responses today on my of post and some.were nicer and more helpful lol. One poster even said that was exactly what she did to help her debt free journey so backed me up rather than making me feel like a stupid little kid.. :)

    Glad you got some decent people come forward to! I forgot to say it's not all bad out there either :)

    Well another £400+ paid off this month but I am struggling to feel happy with it. I miss the money we are really struggling. I wish I never got into this debt and could rewind time and avoid it at every way possible.

    Sorry you're struggling. It can be tough sometimes, don't forget to do some things to distract yourself from it! Little treats once in a while, do you have any recycling centres nearby for bits to do crafty projects with? Could you join a local craft group that might get discounted supplies?

    Woo for maths! :D

    (I sorta wish I had started out with £5000 so 1% was 50 rather than 53, but I really should be capable of that maths hahah!)

    Hoping to maybe throw another £50 off it but bills will all be coming out soon and had to buy some Feliway to hopefully sort out some behavioural issues with my cats :(

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I have just received a cheque from First Utility - dual fuel discount that they pay out yearly. I completely forgot it was owed to me. I will buy dd's birthday cake and put the rest towards debt.

    GunWharf please can you tell me how much you have paid off, not how much you have left to pay? This is how my spreadsheet is set up.
