Evening All,
Well, I’ve only blummin’ done it! Smashed it this month with the thanks to my payrise and back pay to help clear the remaining balance. I could have easily of blown it on shopping and Christmas but we have still decided to have a modest, non-over indulgent Christmas: Certainly learnt from my mistakes and to live within my means. New me going forward! No loan in 2024!!!
Updated my payment balances today...
