  • so I paid £30.00 off of a credit card today (from vinted sales) but I had to put £240 on it so I am going in the totally wrong direction but that's where I am at the moment so at least it's £30.00 better than it would have been.

    It’s better than it would have been is exactly the right way to look at it @DiaryofanotherSaver

    Many a debt reduction/saving building project does not travel in a straight line, so well done for lessening the amount of extra borrowing you needed to take on 💪

  • Thank you, I really appeciate that, my pay fluctuates massively so I am doing a few challenges to to keep myself on track during the highs and the lows, I have a bad habbit of not preparing for the lows! This is part of fixing that.
