Awww that's brilliant! I'm not at the quarter mark with my debt busting challenge but just plodding along. I went to the bank and reduced my od by £100 today. Only a very small amount but it reduces my interest by a tiny bit which definitely helps ☺
Keep debating whether to eat into my savings to pay off the debt a bit quicker, but it feels good to have a little tiny pot of money aside for emergenciesToo much money owed, trying to pay it off one paycheck at a time

I'd been wondering this for a while, but last month i gave in and paid my overdraft and catalogue with it, and i'm really glad i did because i'm that much closer to being df, saving on interest, and still have the over draft if i had an emergency.Still here..... but working on that!0 -

Good morning all,
Well that is April done and dusted, I finished with £1858.45/£7000 or 26%. Not achieved as much as I wanted this month but had a lot of big expenses so am just pleased to clear a little. Am aiming to be more on track by the end of May. Percentage wise I should be aiming to be at just over 40% but realistically I will be at 33% and aim to make up the shortfall over the next few months.
Good luck and take care all
