    I like this idea. I suppose my milestone at the moment is that I have managed to get all of my debt on to 0%. Considering the total comes to just over £11,000 I am very pleased with this as it means I can definitely pay it off over 12 months, because there is no more interest hampering my efforts.


    Oh, and for the first time in I don't know how long I no longer rely on my overdraft. I've managed 3 months now staying out of it :j


    My next milestone will be when the debt is under £10k, I will report back as soon as this happens :)

    Congrats willywonka!, I think half the battle is keeping debt free once you manage it... tempting to go get something else haha. *bows head in shame*
