Yep, my OH will be helping though, all the debt was mine only so i had to do that myself.

Planning to save a minimum £600 between us a month plus cashback money, scratchcards, surveys etc plus i should have £600 in my sealed pot by 1st Dec this year as been filling it with £2 coins all year and they hold £600 in £2 coins apparently.

Just want to get a house in 2010 but don't want to take 2 years to do it, if i can beat 20 months will be even better!

I am going to start November 1st as thats when i will be able too.

Yep gonna try and save for New York too. Not sure i am going to pay for the whole trip though as its a bit too much tbh, might get him to pay for flight, hoping to go early May and then have a beach holiday September using Tesco deals.
