Nice to see that you only have 5 repayments left on the student loan and 8 on the loan - once those two are gone, i think the list will look a lot more manageable or 'compact'. I think getting rid of a couple of debts will be nice and motivationalSealed Pot Challenge 075

I am so excited to be done with the loans, especially the student loan! It will be great to a more compact debt list and to be able to really snowball big sums.0 -
Super-quick check in! Having a bit of success with focus groups and surveys recently, I've been able to make an extra £150 in the last couple of weeks from particularly lucrative ones. I'll put some of this towards MBNA.
Following the annoying delays with the MBNA and Lloyds statements last month, I'm going to wait until a the second week of the month before updating my debt figures. My fingers are itching to update with some of the wins (like another chunk off the loans!) but I'll restrain myself until then.
Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine!0 -

I've had no trouble sleeping since we got it all set up and on the hottest days (like Saturday) it has been great to have the option to put it on for a couple of hours and escape somewhere cool. I'm keeping a watchful eye on the energy bills though! How are you doing with the heat?
