    Hi, all

    #71 £624 paid off today. Grand total of £5129 = 51%.
    xx

    #71 another £473 paid today so that is £5602/ 10k = 56%

    I'm not going to make the 10k unless I win big! I have separated from my husband so having to pay all the bills. I would have made it if we were still together.

    Could I lower mine to 7k, please? That's still a bit to get up to, but I want to feel like I have achieved something in 2018 other than just failed at everything!!

    Just checking in to say that I haven't forgotten about this thread or my goal :)

    I've had a lot happen work wise (possibly!) and am rush learning to drive as a consequence. I'm not moving money to my debt until this ends and everything balances out. I will need to buy a car too, and my potential new role's pay increase is unlikely to cover the car expenses.

    I am continuing to be frugal though and make money where I can, so I'm confident that money will help buffer the upcoming costs and leave me in the best place I can be to join you all soon.

    Well done to everyone continuing to chip away, Sunshine you are so close to 75%!
