prolific cash out meant £10 off my most stressful cc and £5 to my alligator fund (loss of wage margin fund for next month) feeling about more hopeful🥳

Jan / Feb had some hefty bills, was glad to just be not going further in debt up until now. Well done everyone loads of you motoring through! re: Alvin Hall, loved him too, have his book Money For Life, might re-read that one, I loved the way he told people off for spending what they didn't have, wish I could re-watch his shows from what, 20+ years ago?! I have also a book about paying off mortgage in two years, from that show with Rene Carayol as presenter. Biggest hurdle coming up is my husband's car's mot, both of us dreading it and not sure how to deal… 25 March.

I am waiting for my bill for my MOT, my garage don't do the bill for a couple of weeks so it's nail biting. I am with you on that. For some reason it is the worst bill ever, I suppose because they are always pretty hefty - I get my car serviced at the same time. I have started to put 100 a month away for it into a separate pot, this seems to be working well, covers odd tyres etc and a service.
It makes me feel that the debt busting goes on hold until its paid.

76.56% today. I really want it to hit 80% now but that won't be until the end of next month :(

Would love to get to the stage of sinking funds for stuff… still too week to week, but hopeful, utterly sensible!
