    Hello all,

    Sorry I have been AWOL, things have been tough with health concerns. I wanted to send a (mixed) update.

    Unfortunately my debt increased because of increased and unexpected costs and debts I had not taken in to account. My total debt increased from £2020.53 to £2674.42.

    I am proud to say I have done a lot budgeting and debt busting and have paid off in total (including amount previously posted) £2360.74 (with thanks to an unexpected payout as well).

    (NEW DEBT TOTAL)

    #33 Debt paid £2360.74 of £2674.42

    Remaining to pay £313.68

    Thank you
