    I know I have a guaranteed £1,200 to save from my salary. The rest of the savings I plan to get from babysitting - £550 in total, this would also take my A&L savings to over £1K :T

    What a great idea. Can I join please? I would like to pay off an extra £200 - hopefully more (but I need to remain realistic!).

    Many thanks for starting this post.
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x

  • lol @ PAP with her stats. I love figures too so read these with relish :rotfl:..

    Gawd knows how I am going to manage tbh. I will try and cut down as much as possible, Pray that ex starts the maintenance payments again and just keep plodding on. My target is above realistic so I will have to push myself to get there.x
