Amazed at progress to becoming debt free...

Hi,

I just wanted to post and say thank you to everyones advice and tips on saving money. I had started to think that we would be in debt forever but me and DH have really tried to cut back and have also sold lots of unwanted items on Ebay.

With all the help and advice about 0% credit cards we are now not paying any interest and have moved a £4,000 loan on to our cards saving over £650 in interest alone :)

In just over 1 month we have now reduced our debts by £1943.58 and feel that we are well on our way to a better debt free life :) Our budget and plan means we are aiming to be debt free in 21 months!

Thanks again for everyones support as it really did make it easier to face up to everything!

Sarah
