    Couple more overpayments bringing current total to
    #120 - £6255.15 / 56.86%
  • Have had a bit of a debt paying off spree over the last few days, so thought I'd better update!
    Paid off my car finance with a (temp) loan from my husband - £4072.64
    Sold the car and got £4500 for it, £4000 of which went back to my husband and out of the remaining £500, I paid these off;
    Very - £347.87
    Studio - £94.04
    Freemans - £58.09 (of a balance of £79.16)
    Pay day today and an extra surprise was that it was bonus pay day! Stuck some in my savings and used the rest to pay off these;
    Next - £152.97
    Currys Your Plan - £200
    And paid the remaining £21.07 off my Freemans account.
    So grand total paid off for #21 so far is £4,946.68/£7,000.00
    Plan is now to chip away at everything else now I've got the additional money from not having any car expenses and from not having to make the little payments for these accounts anymore!
