    #23  £434.23 / £6,000. 

    That's mostly minimum payments, with some small extra thrown at Debt 1 . (Am generally snowballing.) 
     CC are interest bearing, so that's the total debt has reduced by, with the interest added, not the amount actually paid so far this year (as some goes on the interest obviously.) 

    I hope that's the right way of adding for the challenge anyway ! Total debt reduction overall?
