How would you go about it?

OK wanna get debt free for my little girl and my new wife ;)

I have;

Student Loan about 3.7k paying £181.54 with about 20months left
Sainsburys Loan with about 7.5k left paying £349 a month about 23months left
Tesco loan about 13.3k left paying £360 a month with about 43 months left (to pay off some cards and buy a car, normally had finance)
RBS card with 5.2k on it which i pay £200 a month off by choice and is interest free for another 14 months...
Two other cards with about 8k available...£0 balance and just closed three other cards...

So apart from paying payments every month, and overpaying my card off like i'm doing, and having only "needs" and no "wants" is there anything else i could do to get debt free quicker... really wanna be buying a home in a couple of years time... i have a 999 credit score and all payments been made on time in last 6 years(prob longer)...
