    wow well done! any tips? How much did you pay off a month?

    On average was about £600 and something a month, although through summer there were months when I didnt pay at all, (you need to have fun too).

    Basically I made sure that all overtime earnt or money from selling my cameras etc, all went on paying the debts. Its easy to revert once you get down to £2000 or so as you think is more managable and you can 'give up' or revert to minimum payments, the secret for me was to remind myself what I wanted and how I was going to get there, and paying off the debts first was always the answer...
