I have a small amount left which i have kept to one side- earning less at the mo- but if it's not needed by pay day i'll pay anything left of cc1- determined to make it to £1000 remaining.
Keep up the hard work everyone

Number 7 checking in to say I've done it!! I've cleared 100% 😊
The only debt I have now is my mortgage so am planning on getting that paid off sooner rather than later.
Thank you to everyone on here for ideas and motivation!
Good luck everyone, keep going, it can be done 👍

Thank you Blackberrycurved, you'll get there. To be honest, lock down has helped as we aren't going anywhere to spend anything. It's the first time in about 15 years that I've had an empty credit card and no overdrafts!mortgage £800 overpayment 2022. £600/£2400 2023 🙂 savings £1853/£1800 😊5
