Debts now under 20k - Yeeeehaa!

Just had to post as I am so proud of our achievements so far and wanted to thank everyone for their help when I posted original SOA and for keeping me motivated along the way...

We still have a fair bit to go... but we're keeping motivated as it's our ambition to buy a house... need to pay off debts and then save a deposit.

Thanks again!

    You are paying off your debts incredibly fast. Well done. It must give you hope that you can save for a deposit for a house quite quickly if you then save money at this rate once your debts are paid off.
