77.5/100 steps after normal payment and extra £41.56 sent via PADs this week! I may hit 80 steps by the end of this month all being well, no pressure! Need £54.05 extra to make it. Great work @highlanddream I do have a loan which I am OPing as well, but that is much bigger than this one and I wasn't up to facing it at the start of this year! Maybe next year I will be brave enough to put it on this challenge!

Went up to 79.6/100 steps today, oh so close! Not adding anything extra than usual OPs as this account is looking snug at the moment an still a few weeks until next pay day!

80.2/100 steps, woohoo hit that 80 mark! Was nice that I only needed a small OP to get to the 80 mark, also added an extra £50 to the PAD pot today for this debt, so next weekend this will be a good 'step' up as well!

85.5/100 ended up selling tickets to see Pink, which worked nicely for the debt, extra £100 to throw at it!
Really didn't think that I would have seen such an amazing improvement in this debt by this time of the year, such a boost!2 -
91.8/100 usual standard £100 for the new month, plus some cashback, looking great to be up to 100 steps real soon!
