    Nice thread!

    I;ve been very lucky this year - reclaimed a lot of bank charges and the "snowball effect" started to work for me.

    I paid off about £8,000 this year. Particular high points have been settling all my arrears (council tax, mortgage, credit card) and the first of my credit cards.

    Targets for 2007

    January - Student loan finished!!
    May - Last credit card gone...
