    Payday!

    I've kept £350 for my monthly spending. If any of this is left over it will go to the debt before next payday.

    £417.49 paid :)

    2019 1% challenge #18= 43.1%

    Waiting for £410 more income to arrive in a week and this will be the next bit off the debt and take me over 2k and half way :)

    If I keep not spending and sending to the debt I will be debt free in two more paydays, so 27.04.19

    I have a couple mini bits to make a % or two over the next few weeks, though no massive income making things due.

    Going to claim my Shopmium now so I at least have that pending!
