  • 6 - _Dolly_Rocker_ £416 £5,000

    First mortgage overpayment of £416 made, also updated my goal to £5000 for the year.
    Debt Free - 4th June 2025
  • 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.

    I feel your pain, I get my hopes up paying cc’s down, then they bang the interest on and my heart sinks 🤯😫
