    I'm desperate to get to 50% too! Clearing my CCs is my next goal, though, and I'm hoping to do that this month.

    I'm so impressed by how much you clear every month.

    Lots and lots of working unfortunately, but it does feel good to clear lots each month :)

    You've cleared an impressive amount in such a short space of time.

    Do you have a diary?

    Thanks!

    Me and DH have decent-ish salaries. To be honest we could be clearing more and I think we'll increase our payments soon. I do have a diary but I'm a bit of an infrequent poster -

    I don't know how you work all those hours - I tip my hat to you. You won't know what to do with yourself when your DFD arrives!

    I know, I can't wait to have less figures!

    Busy weekend - pub Saturday, club Sunday (should have been last shift!) and out for my brother's leaving do, as he's off for 6 months now.

    £85 minimum to Barclays and an extra £5 to Lloyds :)
