£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...19/12/14: Spent 10 years of savings!!
