    Morning all :D

    I'm back from wonderful Bruges so:

    #006 checking in with £2635.10/£10000 please muppets :D
    Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭

    #104 Checking in

    Only a small amount to oay, it feels like I'm not getting anywhere but at the same time I don't want to overpay and then be left at the end of the month with nothing to buy food.

    So just a small update £790/£4500

    Thanks

    Hello, I was due to pay £100 today but noticed I was so close to a nice round number so found another £3 from my food budget this week:

    #118 £861 / £4861 (17.71%)


    My house fund hasn't increased this month, I thought it was better spent re-listing our flat, 5 months now it's been on the market :( If we can get that sold I'll have another £250ish a month to throw at my debts. Hopefully this will help!
    Total debt at LBM = £4861.03

    DFBXmas2018 #91 - £3342 / £3500 (95.4%)

    HTB ISA - £0 withdrawn for house purchase! :D
    Wedding Fund £2550 / £5000

    #051 Bumblebear - paid another £499; balance is now £0.00!!!!!

    Whilst I started out with a "smaller" figure for this challenge, I've had CC debt of £1000-£7000 for the last 10 years, and have never fully cleared it. I've always done something stupid like got it down to the hundreds, then within a couple of months it's crept up again. It's been a long, slow, boring journey but I am very grateful to everyone on the forums sharing their experiences and knowledge; it's given me that final push to change my awareness and attitude.

    Thank you abba :) now to start saving! I figure I can't miss what I've been paying out on repayments so that's a good starting point
