Paid £681.39 off across a few things this month. The silver lining of being in isolation is that you can’t go out to spend money so hopefully next month will be a really good debt clearing month!

Not been on in ages as I've been so busy - but, today I paid the last installment on my CT arrears which takes my payments for this year to £972/£3,472. I'm so happy but annoyed that it's not over the £1000 mark as hubby used the CC to buy a piano! Still....£2,500 to go by Christmas. I'm hopeful!
