    Wow I’ve not been on this site since it changed over and I can not figure out what is going on 🤣 I don’t know what I said on my last update but £600 sent so

    #125 = £1,190 / £8,000

  • I got a PPI payment that I wasn't expecting so have paid £971 towards the debt. :smiley:

    Another £100.

    #175 = £3000 / £6700

    Keep thinking of things to "blow" this money on, just popping on here and paying off another £100 is culling the urge. Only £100 left now! i think that will be required elsewhere before the end of the month unfortunately- still have DD and initial statement payments before payday though.
    keep up the good work everyone  :)

  • Hi Muppets


    First months worth of debt repayments and I've repaid £418.60


    So now at £418.60/£8000


    I will update just the total debt paid of my target once a month as its easier for me to track that way, comparing balances once payments made/interest applied. Should be able to pay more off in February and March as January is always very tough!



    Hi Muppets can you update my total /amount paid as per previous post above?
    Will have another new update next week once next round of payments all made
