    DW's car has packed in, it's gone to the garage for observation, fingers crossed. As long as it costs less than £160 I've got it covered. £160 doesn't even get you a lightbulb on some cars these days!!
    Pay off £20k (well £12.5k) by December '10 £12,500/£3398.59 = 27%
    Furniture loan [STRIKE]£816.06[/STRIKE]/£0 =100%, CSL sofas loan [STRIKE]£640[/STRIKE]/£0 =100%,Tesco Mastercard [STRIKE]£1629.39[/STRIKE]/£0 =100%,
    Santander Mastercard [STRIKE]£2262.55[/STRIKE]/£2217.50 = 2%,Halifax Loan [STRIKE]£2747.42[/STRIKE]/£2491.24 =9%
    Bank of Mum and Dad in Law [STRIKE]£3300[/STRIKE]/£3160 =4%,
