    Hi everyone,

    I have been crunching some numbers and my total debt is £2020.53. This includes my phone cost and money owed to my friend. It also includes the interest I expect to pay.

    I was quite depressed at this so have paid £30.50 so I am under £2000 now!

    So.. £30.50 / £2020.53 (debt left £1990.03)

    (muppets I have sent you a PM regarding my number, please let me know if it hasn't come though and I will resend it!)

    Happy new year to you all! :)

    tears xx

    Happy New Year!!!

    Yes I have sat up until midnight purely so I can post. I've sold my soul in December basically, and through a lot of different ways I've managed some big payments to kick 2019 off to a good start. This is a one off though never to be seen again in 2019, if only it was that easy!

    So my first update of 2019:

    #145 checking in having paid £7209.62 / £27,996.15 (25.75%)

    Now my balance seems a whole lot more doable! Only £56.95 per day...!

    Wishing you all every success this year.
