  • Number 48 checking in with 50% paid. I'm going to have to take a break now as we've had a lot of massive expenses. I have really enjoyed this challenge and look forward to knocking off the next 50% in a couple of months.

    Good evening all :)

    Speeding along rather quicker than anticipated due to major budget slashing and working every available hour!!

  • Can I join please? :-)

    I used the 1% grids last time which really helped and stopped me getting overwhelmed with the big figure.

    I’m going to tackle one debt at a time & I’m getting rid of the smallest first so my overdraft of £500 is my first target.
    1% = £5. I’m currently using £250 of it at the moment but if I aim for the full £500 there will be enough in my account to safely remove the OD without causing cashflow trouble. Doing some overtime on Sunday which will help me reach it.

    Thanks x
