I need to download checkoutsmart on my phone. I keep running out of space on my phone and constantly having to delete messages or apps. Think I need to prioritise this app over any game apps I have.

So pleased to be updating my debt totals as due to a windfall from a family member (they have not died so happy) and payments made from our salary our debt total is now in the £7000's. Also I have paid for our flights for a 2 week holiday next August to stay with with my Mam as she lives abroad but could not afford to go and see her this year.
Hopefully can clear the rest of the debt this year on the credit cards. Then onto saving to pay off DH car.Emergency fund target £12,000 (£2589).
