    I'm trying to clear 1K a month so I aim for 1K plus the interest for that month as well if that makes sense.

    That's why the amounts are a bit random!

    Will be higher targets the next couple of months as one of my 0% cards has run out. Not worth moving it though as my brother should be lending me 2K next month and 3K the month after so I'll be back to paying less interest again :)

  • Ah I see...is it worth you looking at the 1 debt vs 100 challenge or anything similar? Or is your debt not like that?

    I just posted on your diary about missing the start of the £10 a day challenge and I'm the same for the 100 day one - always miss the beginning! :o

    Just think how much 'sapre' money you will have once it is all paid off Becs, it's such a big amount to be paying out every month, you will feel like a millionaire! :rotfl:

    I know, I find it hard to imagine what I will spend it all on!

    I'm going to have a massive blow out my first month DF and then on with the saving for me and OH to go travelling.

    Will defnitely cut my hours somewhat though! :D

    I really can't spell today, I obviously meant 'spare' but I think you get my point :rotfl:
