    ooh @beanielou you little minx 😂 Challenge cautiously accepted! I feel I'll need a few AI surveys to do it though (come on Pro!ific, let me catch a few!!!)

    I'm already £1 closer than my last post as the V payout was £3 not £2.

    So correct figures are:

    Debt total now £4603 (M&S CC £128).

    Right, off to see if I can find £28 lying around for Beanie's challenge…

    Debt Busting Again in 2026!

    Starting Debt 03.05.26 = £5345 Current Total 01.06.26 = £4913

    Clear the M&S Card Starting Balance 03.05.26 £600 Current Total 01.06.26 = £418
