    This will probably be the biggest payment I'll be able to make all year and it's from making a bit more money when I sold my car which I put straight into a debt.

    £5.20 bank interest paid to debt. 5% more needed to be on tack this month for debt free by xmas. Love chipping away. I've decided that whatever is left in my bank account by payday (if there is any) half will go in savings and half to the debt so hopefully I'll get there quicker...
