Does anyone else stare at their snowball?
Im really inspired by mine at the moment. The plan for the repaying is so so exciting. I know when we buy we will realise another 200 a month but this must go to repaying our mothers what they loaned us.

Cheers me dears. things are coming together but I am not counting my chickens and my debt free date might go back again if I indulge at christmas and book a holiday.
Until I can sort my extension i will redecorate the only room which will be untouched once the work starts, my upstairs loo. A nice paint job, cabinet, flooring blind and lampshade and I think it will be fabulous.
Just to keep me smiling. Im off to comp, survey and list some ebays now. xxTrying to shift that debt!0 -

Right the maths are done and instead of taking 4 months to pay p2p I am going to have it done and dusted in 2.
I will pay at least 200 back from it this month.
Other than that I am really looking forward to payday and making payments against everything.
Ebay was a little bit slow this week and there has been a little bit money in - have put that to one side so I can put it against other things while I target P2P. Im over the moon!Trying to shift that debt!0
