    Bloody blimey!

    Just been messing around with the snowball calculator and if I do use all my payrise towards the debts I can be debt free by September 2008! :eek:

    Plus I'd hope to put a bit more towards it from matched betting etc so who knows. This time next year I could be debt free! _pale_

    Do you know what? I think I genuinely will be a bit lost. I've got a goal at the moment and it's something to aim for. I think I will be a bit deflated when it does happen! :undecided

    I suppose I can then look forward to getting into debt of about £200k with or something with a mortgage and trying to pay that off! :rotfl:
