  • #033 checking in - another £250.00 paid off, I got a small bonus at work so decided to put most of it to my debt. I'm trying to do a 'low spend' month, and potentially I have another £100 to put towards the debt. I'm thinking that every Thursday (I got paid on Thursday, so each Thursday marks another week) I'll release £25 from that money and pay it off my card, if I didn't spend it on whatever. Anyway.

    #033 with £610.78/2435.78 for 25.07% paid!

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; always try just one more time

  • #9 checking in with more payments, now at £2200 paid out of £5600. Getting close to the halfway mark. My husband thinks I'm obsessed with getting it paid, but I just want it gone. We've been in debt too long and would like to start saving for a house.
  • Just a quick check in. No changes to amounts paid but want to keep in the swing of it
    See you all next week with a little update I hope after payday
    Jan 2025 £26561.43/£0. I want to clear £9000 this year (2025)
