    Number 61.
    Still paying off debt but managed to raise £8000 to move house which has meant that we have not paid a big chunk off our debt since the beginning of the year, which was the credit cards.
    The plan will be to raise that much during the Autumn to pay off a big chunk of debt before October and end the year with everything nearly paid off.
    Currently paid 35% of debt: £10418. Next month will be expensive though.

    Hello, I've been crazy busy at work so I've been a bit absent these last couple of weeks. Managed to find an extra £70 to pay off the part of my CC that would stop being 0% at the end of May so pleased with that!

    My fiancee is still due me £1500 so I'm hoping I'll start seeing some of that soon and will give my debt busting a little boost. I'm starting to save for our wedding from this month so my debt payments will be less but still hoping to be debt free by the end of the year!

    #91 £1897.14 / £3500 (54.2%)
    Total debt at LBM = £4861.03

    DFBXmas2018 #91 - £3342 / £3500 (95.4%)

    It's better but not great because I've not updated for 2 months.

    On a downer I've run up a bit on one of the ccs I'd paid off but things I had no control over. So I'm going to keep paying off the standard but I'm going to build up a savings budget to stop that happening again and work really really hard, as hard as you can on a zero hrs contract when they lay you off all summer ( I'm a Uni lecturer) and clear that CC for good.

    Amazing figures people well done.
