    "Be like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you get there." Either that or stick on bedroom ceiling so when I wake up it's there to remind me.

    Please can I join, I want to be debt free by my 35th Birthday in July 2015? £16,480 to clear (give or take a few pence!).

    I always said I would be debt free by 30th Birthday - shame my LBM didn't come a little earlier as that's one goal I don't have a chance of achieving as it's this July!!!
