#204 reporting back!
Payment of £560 made just after payday (which was late, frustratingly).
Now paid £660/£2,802
After a PPI cheque, I've the opportunity to pay the remainder off in one go at the end of this month, but this would be at the expense of much of my savings. The debt is interest-free over the next 20 or so months, BUT my income is uncertain, BUT I'm hoping to move house next year and wanted the savings for moving, BUT...argh. Wrecking my own head here...
Good luck everyone!0 -
Hi Guy's
I know already I won't achieve this challenge by the end of the year, but I'll keep plugging away!
I'm now at £3082/£5643, so I've not done too badly. There's no more paid overtime available at work, so I'll have to find other ways to generate extra income.
Hope you're all keeping well and have a lovely weekend
