    Woohoo!!

    Got paid 2 days early because 22nd is a Sunday, so my 'normal' debt payments haven't come out yet and won't until Monday, but...

    PAID: £115.49 off Barclaycard (CLEARED!!!!!) and £75.15 off Sainsbury's card :)

    TOTALS:

    :T610.64/8280 = 7.4% :T

    (I think? My maths ain't great, hence the debt in the first place...)
    Mortgage: £83,000
    Credit Card Debt: £1,700
    Loan Debt: £3,000
