    Hi guys,

    Unfortunately I need to do a whole reset on my Challenge :disappointed:

    Due to rising costs things have had to be put onto my credit card 

    I currently have covid so have sat here in my bed tonight and worked out everything, and what I need to do to get my debt sorted asap. 
    I am aiming to pay £35 per week of my credit card plus any extra I can afford,  I won't have it paid out by the end of the year, but hopefully I will have at least half of it paid off. :weary:

    I need to up my debt to £3,550

    I have just paid £103.78 - which is a new minimum payment plan my bank has set up to pay more than the original MP.

    So my new figure is £103.78/£3,550


    Pay all debt off by Christmas 2025 £815.45/£3,000£1 a day challenge 2025 - £180/£730 Declutter a bag a week in 2025 11/52Lose 25lb - 10/25lbs Read 1 book per week - 5/52Pay off credit card debt 18%/100%
