    that's brilliant - are you going to aim for that? Then you'll have paid off £10k and you'll be under 13k! :D x

    Hell yeah! :D

    My loan will knock £297.62 off that and the plan is to pay at least another £700 off next month, hopefully more but it all depends how expensive Xmas is! :rolleyes:

    I can't wait until the last 2 credit cards are gone! :j

    Maybe my target should be sub £12k by the new year! :think: That will mean the Barclaycard is gone! I think! :confused:

    YES! Always aim for more than you think you can do - it will give you the determination to try :) I'm sure you can do it!
