1debt vs 100days challenge chapter 21

Fingers crossed for you parsniphead, well done on clearing a card, that must be a boost
Well done Calling14 - so very close!
I got an unexpected windfall. My grandma died towards the end of last year and yesterday my mum handed me a cheque for £1000 as part of the will, obviously I'd much rather be worse off and have her back but I think she'll be happy up there knowing it's helping me become debtfree and less stressed. So tomorrow I'm heading to the bank and paying that as well as the remaining £51. That's one card cleared and thischallenge complete! :j
Feels like a cop out though as I didn't really have to work at it so can I add another card at £537 to this months challenge 1 debt vs 100 days -

You're so close to your target too Donna :j
I forgot there was no council tax this month, no water either so should be able to pay more off the next cc than I thought 1 debt vs 100 days -
