I paid off an 8K loan in November so just have my credit card remaining to pay off. Im also trying to save for a mortgage.
On 1st January my total debt was £1314.34.
Total debt today £1214.34.
Paid £100 / to Clear before December£1314.34
Sorry Im not sure how to make the total large!
I budget £100 a month for my credit card but hoping some months to pay more.
March is a skint month!
Sick pay due to my operation last month and car insurance is due 22nd March!
I’ve paid an extra £10 so £110 paid off for March taking my total credit card debt remaining to £1100.
I’ve also got the ball rolling with the consent order so I can finalise my divorce so adding £524 for my solicitor bill to my debt
Ive paid £170 off my solicitor bill.
