    Dammit. Unforseen loading- I had to book our hol this week, so its knocked me back a little ahead of a big bonus for xmas working. Not to worry, stil gonna keep trying. CC3 rounded up minimum payment made, so with that and the extra I now stand at:

    #175 = £1805 / £6700

    I truly hope thats the last i'll need to load up on this year. keep up the good work all, reading about all your payments is keeping me motivated as always- even after a setback like this :beer:
    ooooh I did the same and paid for some small holiday extras in advance by CC because I told myself it couldn't wait any longer. I'm kicking myself for adding to the debt because it shows my mindset hasn't shifted. Let's encourage each other that that's the last time we will load up this year, and we'll get these debts paid off by the end of 2020 x
    You have a deal- nothing wrong with us beating ourselves up a little- but remember, life gets in the way. Even though we've kicked that finish line a little further out, we can still do it! That's what I love about this thread! Anytime i lose will power, I pop on here and a 5 min read of the last few posts is enough to put me back on line. I'll join you with the aim to load up no more during 2020!  :)
