You are doing fabulously well!!! Congratulations on seeing the 5ks!! It's a huge commitment you've made to this debt busting, and you're very much succeeding. I had no idea what a difference just a £1 would make, but it is as much a mental difference to getting the debt paid down as the physical difference.LittleMissDetermined said:
I know! It’s soooo exciting 😃 I had said I was going to save up the c-cat payouts and do one weekly to save as many transactions but as this pushed me below £6k I made an exception today.Deleted_User said:Yay you're in the £5ks LMD.

Hats off to you LMD

My husband, out of the blue said he'd help with my debts if I can continue to not spend and budget as well as I have been. I don't know what to do with myself today. I feel complete bewilderment.... also, can I legitimately add this to my £20 a day challenge or not?!Makingabobor2 said:
