    Well as it's the end of the month I decided to pay the balance of my account before my pay was credited towards the debit so I'm now at a very happy 15%.


    Hope to be at least at 20% by the end of February.

    Hi all! I've paid another 4% off my credit card debt. So that's number 16 with 18% paid so £657.50 in total. :j:D

  • #21, just paid off my first 1% of £200. Used my Chip account which has been working away in the background.
  • #18 checking in with 6%. I'm unlikely to get it to 7% before the end of Feb but I can try!

    Hi all.
    With no council tax or water to pay this month and a little bit of overtime I've managed to pay off some more!! #16 paying off another 14% meaning 32%!! I'm so pleased with the start I have made, we always have more spare cash the first part of the year and this will slow down considerably as the year goes on. But right now I'm happy!! :j:j
