    #85 £12,675/£4838 61% Paid!

    Thanks to a £3k rebate from the tax man and some early inheritance from the bank of mum and dad (£2k) we have managed to pay a whopping £6726 off our debts in February!!!

    We are going for a loan free date of end of April and CC free date of beginning of June.

    I'm starting to see the light at the end of the very dark and long 5+ year tunnel now.

    Keep it up everyone! We can do this!
