    I’ve broke the £2000 paid off barrier!

    No 70 £2023.34/£10,000 20.2% 

    I still have a few payments to come out and will make an adjustment for the BT fees so I am recording an accurate paid off figure for the year.

    I am only paying the minimum payments each month as we do not have a surplus currently but as one of my accounts is down to £12.53 I will just have to find that extra little bit to clear it so I can put a line through it on my debt snowball  :)
    Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
    Pay off £7000 - £1743 - 19.4%
    Make £2021 extra income - £99.75
