    What a weird month. We got married! So we have used our very kind wedding gifts to go towards the debt. Luckily I only sent half to the credit card before lockdown hit so I have some left in case I lose my job in the next two months. I think this might be a stretch to do this all this year but I'm desperate to pay this debt off so that we have more money each month.

    DD gone out- now stand at:

    #175 = £4400 / £6700

    I think the current situation will at least slow down my mommentum- may end up having to cut the DD even, just temporarily. I've needed a piece of kit for home isolation, there may be a problem with my new(er) car- hopefully i wont need anything doing on it whilst we're like this!! and best case my income will be a chunk lower- i'll be doing well if that's only how I'm hit.
    Fingers crossed for everyone- keep sharing those payments- it'll keep us all motivated  B) be safe all
