    Afternoon all!
    Some excellent news - I managed to sell my car at the end of last month so that, tied with my wages, meant I could bust some debt for May!
    Managed to pay off the Barclaycard CC and the TV debt (sig updated)! All debt I now have is with people so (currently) at no interest. :)
    Still need to keep chipping away but should mean each payday I can put aside what I was originally throwing at the CC and pay off each personal debt as I save!
    Got all manner of weekend events/family celebrations/weddings etc. throughout May and June so going to keep an eye on the pennies to cover those and then get down to debt-busting!

    Hope everyone else is doing well - and enjoyed the gorgeous Bank Holiday! Much support and best wishes,
    L. xx

    Morning :)

    I realised yesterday that I could make over payments on my loan. I've been saving the 'extra payments', thinking I needed to make a final early payment.

    That discovery has made me very happy cause it means I can see the damage my payments are going to be making.

    So I paid the money I'd been saving off the loan yesterday. It hasn't shown up yet. I'm not sure how long that takes so I'll give the bank a call and ask. But it's all very exciting. :)
