  • My goals:

    1 - Claim back the £360 Egg have taken from me in credit card charges before Xmas (1st letter asking for it back has gone out today - so it's definitely achievable);
    2 - Awaiting the Adjudictor's decision in my case against Sainsburys for their dubious CCA and miss-sold PPI (if successful, I should be able to close off this account too in late 08 / early 09);
    3 - Touch Jose Mourinho in a completely inappropriate way at some point in life.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    I aim to:
    clear my credit card by the end of 2008
    Clear my overdraft in the first part of 2009
    Save up enough to cover a years worth of loan payments, or perhaps pay the whole thing off :)
    Save like crazy, then...
    Move to Australia for a year in 2010, safe in the knowledge I am in a secure position financially :j
    After that, who knows. I'll be such a money saving expert by then that hopefully I can start saving for a house deposit!
