    Thank you all! I'm so pleased and fortunate and I can't wait to be able to clear the remaining card :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 😭

    Having a terrible month. Lost focus and as a result, I have missed payments.
    Will get back on track next month.
    Just been reading back for motivation.

    Thanks for the support Glittery.
    I love this thread, it always puts me back on track.
    Trying not to allow my recent mistakes to become the focus, and instead be pleased with what I have done so far and build on it.
    I have my mortgage review in 12 months and want to be in the best position financially in order to get the best deal.
    As soon as I get my debt sorted, I can start overpaying on the mortgage.
