    Hey everyone, I haven't updated in months, my confidence took a hit when some negativity appeared on my diary, and it set me back massively mentally, I have put my big girl pants on and decided to ignore any negative comments about how I am doing my debt journey, its my debt journey, not theirs and if I have had to add to the debt while also paying it off then that is nothing to do with anyone other than me and OH

    So here is a big update :) this is all payments made from last update (March) up to and including end of June

    Good for you:T. Don't let them win. I have had to add to my debts over the years, you never know what is going on in people's lives so I wouldn't judge anyone. Your doing brilliantly anyway :T:T
