First mortgage overpayment of £416 made, also updated my goal to £5000 for the year.Debt Free - 4th June 20252 -
Updated balance £410.65 of £4,226.52
We were previously at £437.18 but the interest hit the barclaycard account 🤦♀️
I’ve made a few quid on the surveys and I’m keeping up with my payment a day challenge.So hopefully it’ll allow us to add a few extra quid to the debt at the end of the month.Feb GC 🥬🍑 £6.14/£500
