    Do you think the move is effecting it too as obviously that's taking priority isn't it.

    Just think next year you will be in your new place, have your pup and loads more money :T

    Its possible but even if we werent moving I think I'd feel just as underwhelmed, if not more so because I wouldnt have anything to blame it on!

    I need to get myself back on track though for the new year and really make some new changes, I'm gonna need that hat to entertain Gordon Ramsay!!!

    I do mine after interest so it would be £15k off my total debt.

    Personally though I don't think it matters if you pay off £15k regardless of interest it's a fantastic achievement :D

    Jenki - I think I know you :)

    Basically the 15k is just adding up all the payment you make to your debt, but you physically have to have paid it, (either to stoozing accounts or your bills) not money you've earnt that you could pay that went "somewhere else"....
