Just wanted to say thanks to all that helped me with my SOA earlier this month... Having budgeted strictly for the last few weeks I was able to plough an extra £200 into my debts this month so I feel like I'm getting started!
It's going to take a while but I know you're all here to help me!

Thanks - spreadsheet's a good idea but I actually bought Microsoft money (a bargain £12.50 from PC World) a little while a go and am finding that really helpful in planning etc. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes to be a bit nerdy about dealing with their debt!
Think if I can keep this up I'll beat my snowball target date!0 -
:T Well done. Success is a great motivator. Keep it up
