    #80 payment update
    £6649.08
    Thanks


    Pleased to predict that I may be able to exceed how much I want to pay this year... (Even though I start a lower paid job later this year).
    Decided to use a matured ISA to pay off another £2k instead of putting it in another rubbish ISA, which has helped! :money:
