    I've not cleared as much as I hoped (moved house three times, including Scotland-England once!)

    Still managed to clear:

    ~£1000 (regular payments)
    ~£1000 (GF's parents lent us money to come to London)
    ~£300 (GF, household stuff we needed!)

    Actually, I'm pretty damn pleased with that!

    Aiming to clear in the region of £3k next year - not going to say DF by Christmas, but I can hope.

    £2,300 total £8.600
    £12,000 total £20,60
    £5,000 total £25,600
    £14,736.02 total £40,336.02 etc. etc.
