Seriously, we need to think about adopting the Tesco slogan: every little DOES help!

£60.00 mortgage overpayments made today, bizarrely found myself feeling left out with everyone doing well with debt payments so far.

Can I play this one too? I've been totting everything up (gulp). Plan is to clear all the credit and then save up and buy DW a new camera as soon as possible (nice to have a target). This means we are looking at around £12,500 (another gulp) but I'm sure we can do it. DW is doing a lot of overtime at the moment, which should really help.

The breakdown:

Barker and Stonehouse furniture loan 0% £582.90 (Should end 1/5/10)
CSL sofas loan 0% £640 (Should end 23/7/09)
Tesco Mastercard 18%?? £1629.39 (some savings to pay a lot of this off soon:D)
Virgin Mastercard 18%?? £2262.55 (transfer to Abbey 0% imminent)
Halifax Loan (not flexible but can pay early, grrr) £2747.42
Bank of Mum and Dad in Law £3300ish
Nikon D300 (or similar) £1200

I have signed up to this one and the 10k one, I need every bit of support I can get! I have been fantasizing (when frankly I should go to bed! and or getting a life) about me spending Saturdays getting to the post office on time and counting up my coppers selling stuff on ebay, music magpie etc!

However so far I have read a lot of diaries, whilst sitting on the sofa........

keep up the good inspiring work, I promise after Christmas I will be a force to be reckoned with !

oh and Happy Christmas of course!
