    I'm disappointed that I haven't been able to make the kind of overpayment that I usually make. Unfortunately, June turned out to be an expensive month with an MOT and service, a broken microwave which needed to be replaced, birthday presents and my son's first camping trip which I needed to buy loads of equipment for. On the positive side, I haven't needed to go into debt to pay for these.

    My payment today is £75 so my new figures are:

    #10 £2575 / £3000

    I've had my heart set on clearing this debt by the end of this month so it's going to be tougher than I thought now.
    SPC #229= £103.76(2014)
    VSP #11 = £74.11(2014) £85.55 (2015)
    Crazy Clothes Challenge 2014 £33/£100, 2015 £44 / £100
    DFBXmas2015 #10 £3000 / £3,000 (100%) :j

    Morning all!

    Been recovering from our Egypt trip. Some fantastic diving with the club, and some terrible stomachs too! In fact, they nearly quarantined us, I kid you not. On the plus side, we only spent £220 of our expected £380 spending money, so £160 can go back into the debt payments. :j

    Back to reality, and our landlady has decided to sell up. What that means for us is having to find a deposit for a new tenancy until we're in a position to buy. We don't have a deposit with the current house, so it's money we have to find. It would be less stressful if the rental stock around here wasn't so abysmal and overpriced. This may get annoying! Grumble grumble.

    As for everyone else, I'll try and find time to run an update tomorrow afternoon, but if not it'll be Monday morning. Well done everyone, we're half way there!

    Happy Friday everyone :beer:

    My tax credits re-payment has gone out, probably the last payment I can make till the end of the month now. It's gonna be a frugal month, not much money in the entertainment budget now. On the plus side, I've hit 70%! :)
