    Hi all,
    Paid another £50 off.

    It's happened, the Mrs is being made redundant. So so close but we've worked out we'll be able to survive 2 years with our savings and redundancy pay. Fingers crossed I keep my job.

    Hopefully she'll get another job quickly then we will be able to clear the remaining debt and have a good start to a house deposit.

    3935.89/11885 34% trying my best to be positive about clearing this by Christmas
    Bright note I do have £3000 in savings keeping that in case I loose my job in another lock down
    Now putting things on Ebay to sell to add to my weekly contributions rather than make monthly payments some how I incrued more interest even though my combined monthly payment was double the minimum? Cant get my head around that - as I paid less interest last month? 
    Trying to figure out is it worth making little payments weekly or a big payment when due?
    Thanks
