    Hi everyone, I haven't been on for a long tome now, but have been chipping away at my debts.  
    Stupidly I've been able to pay more off thanks to Lockdown and not being able to get to shops etc, so it's just proved to me I really don't need to keep spending.

    At the start of this my debt was £4,000
    As of now NO.57 is at £2475.00

  • I’m also guilty of not been on here since maybe March and the start of lockdown, I’ve been pretty depressed and logging seemed one more stressful thing to do but I’m maybe up to doing some figures so I’ll post back as soon as with an update. Everyone is doing great.

    Hi everyone, 

    I don't have a number as I joined after Muppets’ last post, but here’s me: 

    Paid off my second and last credit card: (-526.35). All cc’s paid off 🥳

    Paid small amount off my SSE debt: (-25)

    Paid my penultimate payment towards my Natwest loan: (-295).

    Didn't have much more money to pay off other debts as I decided to pay my car tax and car insurance bills annually this month, but hoping to pay off my £1170 O/D in full next month and will be making my last NatWest loan payment. Sounds silly but I can’t wait until the end of the month to pay off debt!!

    £24,207.61 / £27,860.14
    £3,652.14 to go!
