  • It was amazing but now I am even more poor!

    Worth it though - now to sit and sort out the finances.

  • Jeezo it's been ages since I've posted. 

    Happy to report I've still been making my monthly repayments to try to get this debt paid off ASAP. 

    I'll need to provide an update but I'll do that once I make my October repayments. 

    Need to get to the bank to pay in some cash over the next couple of days, decided to pause all my savings challenges and just throw all I've got to the debt, 

    Once I'm in a better placed financially I can re-start the savings again. 

    Also just went on a date - met on a FB dating site and honestly as lovely as he was he just isn't romantically for me. I'm going to need to message him to let him now and I'm dreading it but it's got to be done.
