    Update so far

    1) Emergency Fund £1000 - £520 put in so far - unfortunately this will go down as someone reversed into my car so this will have to go towards the insurance excess, gutted as I was doing so well.
    2) Clear husbands overdraft of £600 - 0 paid to date
    3) Clear Credit Card £2670 (0% so just paying minimum payments until 1 and 2 are complete) - £83.46 paid to date

    £83.46/£3270

    I've been really slow out of the gates, it's felt like forever waiting for payday...

    Anyway, £20 payout from Prolific Academy, so I've sent that over to the loan and gets me off the starting mark!

    Eyebright #??? £20/4000

    Which if my maths is correct is a whopping 0.5% :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Thanks Nicnak! You are right of course, and I have made progress as I've cleared my OD this month before I joined the challenge. This challenge is keeping me focused on my debts at least!

  • HI everyone and happy weekend :)

    Made my first payment and only a little one; going to be minimum payments this month as had a big payment to make to HMRC for self assessment.

    I paid £26 to my CC so my update is below:

    #96 = £26 / £3550

  • Morning everyone.


    Just paid off my Onstride debt, so that's a good start to the year. I'm now going to dedicate my time to clearing my Likely Loan. Aiming to have that done by April. Have a lovely weekend :)

  • Payday yesterday so i've managed to make a large dent into the overdraft - managed to pay £300 off. This brings that particular overdraft down to 250! I'm very proud of myself for sticking with this. I know i'm going to be hit with a lot of interest very soon so my priority is these pesky overdrafts.

    total is now £685.11/£6327.90 which i think is 10%!!
