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!1 -
Ohhh, just worked it out next week I will be 20 / 100 steps. So pleased.

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%Sept 24 : £32000 Sep 25 - £10356 Feb 26 - £6872

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!1 -
