    Third payment for #15 is £36 please LMD. I’ve found the perfect use for this challenge. We used savings to fund a large purchase for Mrs Mac.  This will go towards paying that back. There’s £2900 in total to repay but this covers towards half of it.

    Fab work Ant :) I will update for you
    I think knowing that the savings has a purpose really helps to motivate you

    I'm always in it. It's just the depth that varies.

    Immediate Problem: Overdraft: £752.59 * Paypal £671.07 * Creation £592.74 = £2,016.04
    Phase 1: Vanquis CC £4100.11 * Tesco CC £3996.60 * Capital One CC £3800 = £11,896.71
    Phase 2: Zopa Loan: £12,755
