:beer: what an amazing first month, that is great on such a limited budget and with all your little ones. Keep it up and I'm sure you will smash through that debt free date and just think of what you could afford if the debt money was going towards a holiday or something else equally lovely (I'm just obsessed with holidays
) that is what is keeping me going.

To work out the percentage you have paid, put the small number (the amount paid) in your calculator and divide it by the big number (total) - For May you have paid:
5.9% of your grouped debts
3.6% (rounded up) of your rent arrears
5.17% of the total you oweSave £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)
OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I am at £1286.68/£3000 or 42.89% of my annual spend so far

Today has been so boring. The kids have played games and we have just been cleaning. Its all I seem to do
Popped to my mum's for a cuppa, shes having issues with her staff at work and I just know she sits worrying about it. They walk all over her and don't treat her with any respect! I bet they aren't sat at home worrying themselves sick over itAnyway made her a cuppa and we had a giggle over some old photos they had found.
Uniforms are all ready for Monday, new school shoes came today and will hopefully last now until end of term. Its only 5 weeks, surely they can't grow too much in that time :rotfl:
