    I don’t know my number but can I change my total to 15,250 a BIG challenge but it’s a goal to pay any off. I’ve paid £480 off today 💪🏻 next month may be tight but I’m going to try. 
    You're number 3, will update target shortly

    #2 Made a start £10 payment made and also received a £4 sale on Vinted so will send that when it arrives, must post tomorrow.  I have more debt but not adding it to the total as might sell them, so until I know the plan I will stick with the CC for now.

    £10/£2200 

    Good luck everyone.
