I would like to pay off £5000 this year including loan payments. I wont include interest.
My payments include Next, credit card, loan and parents. I owe £50 to my Mum and i think we owe hubbys Mum £150 still. Would like to get rid of them as even though there is no interest it isn't nice to owe them any money!
So as my loan payment will come out tomorrow i will put myself down as
£410/£5000
This includes my loan and money paid off in Jan
Motivated to get lots of money paid off this year!

Thanks for the updates everyone
Sarah - that's great news about the mortgage overpayments and good that your DH is on board now too.
Jacci - well done on the non smoking, great news about your son, and good luck for tomorrow!

Thanks jwil. Feeling positive about it all. It would only get spent on nonsense otherwise! In my head I have a secret plan for us to pay off our mortgage by the time we're 50 (9 years' time) but I'm not telling him that yet - will scare him!0

Just paid off £25 off teh new AA card so that's £81/£4065. I will be changing my target amount in February as I've decided I will include my £1300 overdraft too as I'm not going to be paying Santander £20 a month for the privilidege come March:) I am also going to sell off my Santander shares which should cover most of this but the rest will probabally end up on the credit cards. I also have more balance to transfer around soon and I managed to go up in debt by £320 this month, this is actually my Iceland trip in March through so its not all bad;)Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
