Guys thanks all for the kind words... to answer the question I think we were in at our highest just as we got married in November '04...
Since we got back our honeymoon though we have tried to pay a fair amount... But since October '05 (when I had lightbulb) we have been paying everything possible... I have taken on a second job in a pub and OH has been trying to do freelance work... all worth it in the end though, i hope!
Hopefully, if all goes well, we will be debt free in November and then we will try and save everything we can so we can afford our own home (we are lucky at the moment as we pay a fairly low rent).
Good Luck everyone and please keep going because it keeps me motivated too!! :TDebt at Highest: - £32'000

Hi Lottie
New to posting but have been a "lurker" for a while and am very impressed with the fantastic rate that you are tackling your debt. You are an inspiration to those of us who are struggling to clear our debts!
