    55 @ time plus half, 25 @ double bubble. Gets the debts paid quickly, but more importantly, gets the savings underway for the gorgeous Audi S3 ;)

    1st DMP payment went this month and I had £300 for a car service and repairs that I hadn't planned for as well as a payment towards DD school trip however I also managed to pay a tiny bit extra to my credit union and to a priority debt. Skint but feeling in control which is great. Also waitin on PPI paperwork so hopefully something will come back which can also go towards getting debt free :)

    Has been a good month for me due to overtime being paid and reduced petrol costs due to being put up in a hotel for work. This has allowed me to pay off £1300 this month and mean I am now below 16k.

    Unfortunately that OT was a one off and I'm back to my 90 mile round trip to work from now on. My car insurnace is due at the end of the month along with my MOT so May will not be anywhere near as good!

    Love reading how well everyone has done this month!


    April was OK, towards the end I discovered YNAB and with some serious scrimping I managed to end the month out of my over draft for the first time in 3 months!


    Looking forward to May and seeing the difference a full month of YNAB can make
