    Well nice surprise from D last night....

    He paid off the burton storecard in full!!! :T Well done D :D
    Now we can look at our magical spreadsheets and see what were targeting next...the ball is rolling and it's not gonna stop!! :D

    My August target is to have £300 in cash by the end of the month, I added up everything I spent which I didnt actually need in July and it was just over £300. I couldnt believe it but it was there in black & white on my bank statement! :o

    Another NDS yesterday and so far today :T

    Yeah im definately making progress, it's so addictive and all i can think about!

    I too am getting fit for being preggers, I want to do it right as im sure it will be the last time! Our debt free target is autumn 2014 (apart from what we owe D's brother) were thinking of putting off trying for baby until summer of 2014 which gives us 2.5 - 3 years of not paying the sickening nursery fee of £600 a month! That's a grand total of £18000-£20000 OMG!! Well worth leaving it just one more year!:D

    Good planning Max it is easier to be debt free when you have a new addition.
