    Morning all,

    #006 checking in with £2093.22/£10000 please muppets :D

    I was hoping this would be the year I am DF, but we had to buy a new car after ours had a bit of a fit and needed £1k of work - that's what it was worth!! Got a very low interest rate loan but still quite upset about the additional debt monies :( I won't increase my target for this year yet as we have quite a lot going on so need to be sensible but I'll be here next year too!
    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 😭

    So please that I just finally paid off a car loan, the car insurance should go down as well. I've been extended in my temp role at work so thats extra cash this month too. I should be able to pay another 700 off this towards the end of the month...its going in the right direction! Hope everyone else is going well
