    Yeah there is that thought Sammy and I would so like that to be the case! Saving for a little house deposit is my next aim after I am debt free. I know it sounds awful but the one thing that has kept me totally focused is the fact I don't want my inheritance from my Nan to be used to pay off debt. Ive worried that she will die before I get debt free (she is 94 this year) That money is for me and I intend to use it very wisely not pay off OH's debt from stupid spending. I know that sounds harsh but hey!
