    Making slower progress than I had hoped so I have cancelled my mortgage overpayments for the time being. Trying to run before I can walk! Better to get rid of the unsecured debt and I only have until December!!:)


    Also withdrew £100 from National Savings to help pay for car maintenance needed following MOT. The rest went on my MBNA card so a small setback but I have had £220 income from bank account switch and a reimbursement through work for essential equipment.
  • Well done everyone :T
    Paid off another debt today,

    £663/£5,643 = £4,977 outstanding
    Have a great weekend :wave:

  • Would love to join.... I want to be debt free so I can start saving :)

    Here's mine
    Bank Loan £3200 (4 years to clear)
    Store Credit £1800 (BNPL included)
    Credit Card £950

    Total: £5950

    So far for Feb I paid £50 for store credit, loan £80
    There's no way I'll clear all of this before Xmas but I'll try my best, and there's always 2020!

    So £130/£5950 so far
