    Well done everyone I'm at 5.85% paid. I've stalled a bit. Only universal credit and dmp debts left now so only paying small amounts off.

    Savings wise I've got 34% of my grand target. DH is in hospital at moment so any spare cash this week has been spent on the carpark. He's expected home soon but we need to plan for SSP wages as they might want to plan an operation. Never rains but it pours eh. 😂

    Jan 18 Joint debts 35,213

    Mortgage Jan 18- 77224 Jan 26- just under 64k

    June 25 Debts in my name were £5170. Now 5178 (Jan 26)
    DH debts ?? at a guess £15k
  • I’m so sorry 😢 have you asked the hospital ward for a weeks ticket validation? Some hospitals do this but don’t say and expect you to know
