    I'm on the challenge to clear it by dec 2012 so will beat that one..where as a few months ago I thought I wouldn't.Things change all the time.

    There is nothing to cut back on on my household budget but am going to get quotes from local garages for car servicingas I use the main dealer and they are around £200 + and we have 2/3 year so can probably save money there.

    So as long as we don't need to replace the car in the next couple of years we'll be well on the way.Will also look to see if any other business expenses can be cut but doubt it.

    Well we are round the corner- cheering you on:D:D:D:D:D:j I think it is very doable and don't forget to use ISA's etc to maximise interest. I often ponder about the odd foray into shares and whatnot as well. You never know indeed:D:rotfl:

    I have the money in Halifax extra accounts as they were paying better than isas but am toying with the idea of lloyds vantage accounts.
    IT's no use putting the money into the offset as my mortgage rate is only 0.99%.

    Hi Taxi

    Noticed you talking about all things organic and wondered if you had got round to trying Soap Nuts yet for your laundry. A free sample (well cost of an envelope and large stamp) can be obtained here: http://www.inasoapnutshell.com/id20.html
