    Just the direct debit minimum payment for the card - £19.38, running total in signature. Every little helps! :D
    Hoping to have some money left at the end of the month to throw at the card, but not doing it til then, otherwise I'll find an expense I need it for!
    Baby due 21/06/2017 :)

    You need to talk to Firewrym about that - she can shed light on MOTs so you will never, ever overpay for work again! Hoping your car passes though - £200 would be a fabulous amount to use against your debt. Got everything crossed for you x

    oooo i will do !!!thanks :D

  • I actually got excited when I got my Barclaycard statement through today as I could update my figure! Now at £1,541.35/£4,000 #40.

    Really happy with progress so far, hope for a couple of uneventful months so I keep up the momentum. Already made a few small payments which aren't shown on the statement which will add a boost to next month's update.

  • Payday update. Payments of £639.77 this month according to YNAB brings me to;

    Hopefully I'll get my second Yorkshire Bank switch incentive in the next couple of weeks which should get me under the £16K mark.
