Quick update after last payday
Emergency fund up to £560 🥳 aiming to put £50 a month in it now until its £1k.
Also planning on streamlining my wardrobe. I'm only in the office 2 days a week now so need minimal office clothes. I have wasted so much money on clothes in the past so looking forward to creating my own capusle style wardrobe.
Hopefully I can make extra cash on the sale of clothes too.

Quick check in tonight to say our oustanding balances are now under 50k. Been aiming for this for a while and it feels awesome to get here.
Not had much time to spend making extra funds as work is super busy and I feel a bit burnt out. I'm away camping the next two weekends so will hopefully be a bit more recharged to start making some extra cash againOn the long journey to debt freedom...here we go....
