That's £3486 of £10,000 = 35%. Ideally would be at 50% for June, not sure I will be, but we can see and time will tell. Trying so hard to build this up. xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330
Starting afresh.
You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x0 -

I decided to make a payment early as I was itchy waiting for the direct debit date. £150 straight to the family member, so offiacally at:
50% 5000/10,000.
£250 will still leave my account this month, but so great to know I'm half way there. I needed the feeling of hitting half way to give me a nudge.
Right, back to studying.19/12/14: Spent 10 years of savings!!
:heart2: ..... to buy my first home. :heart2:
