    sounds like you may have to try and make some things Happy.

    I'll eat anyone's marzipan if they want the cake and the icing. Between us all we can eat a whole cake lol

    I signed up to the £20k challenge, though i only signed up to £15k and i achieved £12880, which is £880 more than i thought i would realistically achieve so i'm 'happy' with that. It's payday for me on friday and i think i'm going to be in the £10ks!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Lemon Tree

    I understand the excitement at almost being in the £10's, very well done.


    Just wait till we go sub £10k, I think it will start dropping much quicker x

    Hi Kat

    I think most people use the snowball calulator https://www.whatsthecost.com then click on the snowballing tab on the left hand side.

    I did mine different to this though, I just have my budget for the next year done so I know what my payments should be and the totals after interest is applied.

    What's your diary called?
