    Not much movement this month. 
    Paid £97.51
    Total £2,604/6,270
    42%
    My daughter has started nursery now - lockdown delayed this and meant I was back earning with no nursery fees, less to play with going forward.
    Am away this month but have budgeted well so hoping for higher payment next month - especially as we spent the morning talking extensions - need clear the credit card before that can happen

    hi latest update 
    still trying to make weekly payments towards debt to reduce interest not eligible for 0% card yet when I am I will shift my debt asap think I have my numbers wrong on here 
    still owe 8544.73 of 11885 paid 28% off going to try and make large payment towards debt this month which will help me emotionally - like others going to sell some of my stuff to pay off debt - hoping there will not be another lock down I loose my job again if that happens :( Could have been so much further out of debt if that had not had happened - and my car breaking down was a bummer but only lost £200 to fix that towards my debt - chin up and carry on to hit my goal of 0 :)
    thanks
