As of 3rd May I am officially debt free. I had a bonus payment (which should have been paid in February) from work which has allowed me to pay off the last of my debt and put just under £3000 into savings!!! 
I am so unbelievably chuffed! I am not shelling out so much a month now, so my outgoings are literally rent to parents, child support, car things (insurance, diesel), and my phone. I can now look at getting Netflix / Disney + / Amazon Prime!!! little luxuries which make life better! Thank you everyone. I have lurked for ages and taken advice from everyone and it's literally paid off
