    I take it that is your polite way of ignoring my question? I notice you didn't answer it ;)

    Sorry I don't mind answering. Just didn't want to hijack the thread.

    Basically my minimum payments each month come to about £750 a month and I should be putting an extra £50 a month to hit my debt free date. But had "unexpected" costs. One my own fault, £60 speeding fine.

    Other than that I pay £250 to my folks and odds and sods like mobile phone bill, internet. Leaves me with about £60-£70 a month me money! Ain't easy but I've only just started so motivation is still really high! Next month is gonna be a toughy though but should make a bit from ebay thank god!

    Thanks, reading your plan it sounds like it will be hard work, I agree, but so worth it when you are debt free. Ebay is a great way to make money if you have the time and the patience. I used to be a big seller on Ebay but got sick of it at one point, however, as I am madly 'over spending' on new stuff at the moment I think it will have to start up again, just getting the motivation to photograph and list everything is hard. I guess I just got lazy and spend too much time browsing MSE :p

    Good Luck and thanks for responding.
