    Another £775 for me
    #71

    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. x
    September 2017 Debt = £25330

    Starting afresh.

    You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x

    Hi all

    Monthly update from me

    @31 currently at £2885.52/£5000

    Well done everyone :D
    Emptying my lake with a teaspoon
  • 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:
