#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!

#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.0
