    My bank holiday weakness is snacks...okay and wine ;)
    I treat it a little bit like a mini Christmas but once they are gone, they're gone.

    Thankfully cause the weather is rubbish I'm not inclined to leave the house but the struggle is real.

    Morning

    I've joined a couple of extra challenges for this month to get myself a little more focused. Hopefully that'll see the money come rolling in! :)

    Hi all,

    It is super hard for me to log everytime I make a payment so I am going to do it at the end of every month (or the 1st day of the next month as I am today) to give you my debt balance. Obviously this shall now include interest that has been added so I would have paid more, but debt is debt and with the interest is my true amount anyway.

    I now owe £16,261.82 /£18,282.25 = 11%

    DDx
    Started again 25th December 2017
    Current tracking - £7,955.84/ £18,282.25 to pay off. (31.12.19)
