    10K in a year is fab! What do you reckon you'll do with that 10K a year when you're no longer throwing it at debt? (apart from car mats of course!) :D

    Well done SS, I've been watching your debt go down rapidly since I joined in January. Fantastic achievement, we have seen ours go down too but there is myself and OH paying it off with 2 salaries, I wouldn't have been able to achieve what you are doing on my own.
