Hi 🙋🏻‍♀️
I've not updated in a while, so I just wanted to pop on and say I'm still here, I'm still debt busting. Really really trying to get to debt free status by the end of 2021.

My current debt total is now £5380

Getting there I'm getting there. I'm trying my hardest to plough as much as possible into paying it down. I can't wait to have this from hanging over my head constantly.
