    £54.09 to MBNA this morning.  We will be continuing to pay minimum payments on everything and banking any extra as it is likely we will have to take a mortgage holiday as we are both furloughed and the max allowed is a fair bit less than our usual income.

    No 70 - £2290.52/£10,000 22.9%


    Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
    Pay off £7000 - £1743 - 19.4%
    Make £2021 extra income - £99.75
