    Whatever works for you is the best tactic. However, looking at your sig perhaps mentally the idea of having got rid of an entire 'debt', even one less than 5K might do you good on a psychological level...but you know what works best for you, so go for that. x

    Hi IMD,

    I thinking breaking the debt into £5k chunks is a good idea. That is effectively what I am doing.... I am concentrating on paying the first £6k off before my next birthday ( March) and have just cleared the first £1k ( or as lemma68 says the first cuddly one:D) . I have a loooong way to go but knowing that I am now a £1000 LESS in debt than a couple of months ago is a GOOD feeling.:)

    I've re-evaluated, re calculated and started a new thread here https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2519443

    Will try and be good and get there more often but life, work balance and all that is making things very tiring at the moment.
