    Managed to pay off £1,400 this month.

    Next month I have to pay the final £1,250 off the credit card, and then another £250 towards the student loan. I think there's just one more student loan payment needed then, so we should be debt-free finally in April.

    I hope everyone had a good weekend.
    Another DD went out today so that's another £75.41 cleared :)
    All DDs and extra payments paid this month. If I have anything left the day before payday I'll add an additional extra payment.
