    It's a real slog trying to pay off debt. Sending lots of love and solidarity to all of you out there! It'll be worth it when we make it and you're all doing great!

    I've not been reporting in regularly but I have been reporting in to my own spreadsheet! 🤣

    Recently got that natwest fairer share payment, so that was a nice addition. #17 now at £3036.47/£7959.74 I dunno if it's realistic to fully pay it off but I'm going to keep on trying to get as close as I can!

    Pay off by xmas 2026/2026 PAD - £3036.473/£7959.74
    Make £2026 - £512.62

    CC1 - £2534.96/£5617.72
    CC2 - £501.51/£2432.02 (min payments)

    Keep going your doing great. I’m feeling the slog and sat patiently awaiting the pay dates. Need to do more listing but it’s just too muggy at the minute.

    Going to make a start on tackling the next debt even though I still have £600 outstanding on the cc as the cc is 0% so makes sense.


    Debt no 2 is a loan with a balance of £6100.88 at 5.65% (I think).


    Now just need some wages.
