    No 70 - £4308.56/£10,000 - 43%

    I am waiting to hear if I am to be made redundant at the end of the week.  If I am still employed I will be using a big chunk of the money I have saved during furlough to clear 2 debts by the end of June.  If I am not I will just continue with monthly payments until I get a new job.

    Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
    Pay off £7000 - £1743 - 19.4%

    Update for me as it's statement day for cc1. Had a partial refund i didn't expect, and upped my planned payment to the nearest hundred, so now stand at:

    #175 = £6200 / £7300

    Have a tiny £100 fixed rate bond ending soon so hopefully that will make up for if I can't kerb my spending enough to cover the overpayment. Keep up the hard work all  B)
