Happy New Year everyone! now all the festivities are over i can now say am skint and hopefully not spend a penny haha
manage to put another £10.18 toward my smallest debt and if i can find another 26.34 i would have cut a whole month off the debt repayments. only issue I've notice is that I've put on a lot of weight recently due to xmas food! so working out is my main focus this month, i will aim to lose 10lbs from now until FebruaryCredit cards - 8300 (Currently 2501.48), Loans - 21000 (Currently 12155.41), Other - 1300 (Currently 0 :T) Weight loss : 7st 2.3lbs0 -

slow month with very little money left, with both my credit cards being over 25%+ i decided to increase my loan to pay off credit cards at a rate of 9.5 which will reduce my interest each month. I know this is not always the best method of getting rid of the debt but i prefer to have all the debt in one place and under a lower interest rate. i will give a update on my told at the end of the month with the new loan value and the new plan.
Just to make clear not more debt has been added just moving credit card debt into a loan payment.Credit cards - 8300 (Currently 2501.48), Loans - 21000 (Currently 12155.41), Other - 1300 (Currently 0 :T) Weight loss : 7st 2.3lbs0
