Debt paid 1186.00 / 94831.00 Emergency Fund 302.04 /5000
Paid off the debt under 100 pounds.
Waiting for it all to clear before updating totals.
Next smallest debt is 229. so I am aiming to rid myself of that before launching my next assault which is to be on the expensive secured loan! the aim there is to get it below 40k (its currently at 47k) before going in at another small debt.
We didnt borrow that much but thats the interest over the life of the loan, so additional payments will bring that down a lot.
Sold an item on vinted, so I will package that and post it . 2.50 is not to be sniffed at !
Waste not, want not.

In great news I have sold more tat (quality items) on vinted. I also have cleared out the loft a little more, and I have been looking at selling lego. Music magpie will take it by weight which is great. Not sure if thats best option (we have tons o the stuff) needs further investigations!

Well done, great progress!! My starting point was quite similar, trick is to stay focused and keep trying to reduce on the bad months. Even if a small amount, it all helps.
Here to cheer you along!

Well this is a pickle isn't it. Almost got to 1K in the emergency fund and the car dies. Hasty purchase of a car for 1200 so the husband can get to work.
I suppose that's what an emergency fund is for but still. GRR,
Once I get the scrap for the other car, I will add that back in.
*weeps*
