    Hi, new to this challenge because I need to get motivated  before any further debt gets added. Unfortunately, I've been on a bit of a spree. The amount may not seem much to some,  but I'm on a fixed and limited income, so it's not easy paying down. 
    Fixed payments total £344 per month. Will pay extra as & when able. Currently all 0% and would like as much as possible paid off before interest kicks in - October. 

    £4,728 total debt

    Another £600 paid off and £17 refunded onto my card. Feels good to be putting large amounts into it again.
