    True, but hopefully it will only be a year or two of this intensity and then I will be debt free and you will have a deposit, then we can relax a bit!!

    Decided my new target is to pay off my debt by my birthday next year (2010) thats at the beginning of April so gives me 15 months of payments which is £5474 divided by 15 = £364.93 per month. My usual monthly payment is £250 (£300 on a month with overtime) I reckon with scratchcard and quidco money it could be doable especially if I ask for money for my birthday this year. Was going to try for end of this year but that is really unlikely !!

    That's still a good return on paying back a 6k loan though MM,

    Jen I feel like that sometimes, but I get a buzz out of making the money too
