    Its nearly payday for hubby so after careful budgeting and spending hardly anything (easier at the moment as I seem to be working almost everyday) I have managed to transfer £2000 into our pension pot savings account :)

    So this brings our total so far £5753.69/£38457 = 14.94% ❤️

    So I can't remember any figures but debt in my name now is still just the two dmp debts I've got left. No further debts so far this month which is a success in itself. DH is still off sick but he had a bit of back pay so we have muddled though!

    That's fantastic Neverending - especially given what is currently happening in your world at the moment xx

    A little more progress to report from me :)

    I've added £200 from my restaurant job wages and £127.16 interest from one of our savings accounts :)

    So this brings our total so far £6081.03/£38457 = 15.79% ❤️

    It's heading in the right direction - just much slower than I would like :(
