    Oh two weeks this time, so nice boost to steps! 70.63/100 steps

    @BudgetingBelinda regardless if those steps are there before June, you have done incredibly! Also, one of my steps is 3x less than yours, so your payments back are amazing!

  • @Highlanddream that is really exciting!

    71.34/100 steps after PADding added this week
  • 20.70 steps. I am feeling a bit down at the slowness of the pay off, but I realise it's all my own fault. Next "big" goal 25%

  • 71.89/100 only a small . of a step, but a small movement all the same! Would have been a nice one, but of course standard payments don't go out on a weekend! So will be added into next weeks roundup!

    @Highlanddream just think, if you weren't trying so hard, where would the standard payments have taken you? I bet you have made great progress when you think like that!
