    I'm sorry to have caused confusion with my last post.. I didn't know how I should be reporting my repayments :(

    But I received a cheque from the council to reimburse me for a new tyre I had to get as a result of one of their potholes.

    So that's another £114.30 to go towards the car loan.

    To save confusion and avoid creating extra work for the admin, I will just update my total at the end of the month if that's OK?

    Been a busy couple of days since starting this challenge. I have pretty much emptied my rainy day fund to make an impact on my debt. Even though it's a scary thought seeing the savings total go down to zero it's a great psychological boost to see the debt amount go in the right direction. So with that in mind -

    #119 - Paid £19,025/£42,908 (44% paid):j

    BOOM! Wow, well done. Scary decision to take, but I think you'll find it worth it. :T

    Hi Matt! Don't worry, I'm easily confused :rotfl: Feel free to update as often as you like, I'm on here every other day at the moment to do a sweep. As long as I know your total amount paid to date, I can update the spreadsheet. Well done on making another payment :T
