    hi everyone 
    long time since I posted - wasnt able to pay much off the last 3 months with lockdown which really slowed me down in paying off my debts back to work full time now so want to try and make the best of it whilst I can update shown below 
    total debt 9668.55/11885 19% paid off 
    Over 3 cards

    As I am back to work now and I intend to pay one off one of my credit cards in full at the end of the Month had it not been for lock down I could have been 4 weeks from being debt free on my previous calculations with earnings however :(  I am trying to refocus and not loose the momentum again I am jealous of those who have already succeeded and cleared their debt - :)
    You have still done brilliantly in difficult circumstances! 
    Don't be hard on yourself, you are still better off than if you weren't on this journey <3

    I've had a wobble this week, I knew we had to use CC1 but really didn't realise how much. I was on track to pay it off by end of July but we're struggling with it now :( Paid £400 to CC1 and £5 to CC1.
    New totals are;
    CC1 = £557.96/£4600
    CC2 = £3491.16/£4000
    Paid off CC1 in 2020 🙌
    CC2 £3048.92/£4000
    As of 1/1/2021
