I've just had a peek at our figures and we've already paid off 5% of our collective debt of over £3m :T:T that's over £150,000 that's we're not paying interest on :beer:

Forgot to mention earlier, hubby has just got a 3% pay rise starting from 1st Jan! Which should mean roughly an extra £20 a month to pay debts off :j:j:j

Well done jakes-mum, when will you write it off? When you have an equal amount in savings? Or something else? Are you going to tell jakes-dad? Wish I was at £0

Ummm Ummm :eek::eek::eek: I dont know :eek::eek::eek: It seems such a leap of faith I told Jakes-dad as soon as he got home, I was all pleased with myself and made him sit and listen to each of our credit card balances in turn and THEN the loan and THEN the bank :rotfl: He was pleased but really doesnt get my obsession with it all. If it makes you feel better the other account is still at £900 :rotfl: :rotfl: (and thats still maked as £1k in my figures as well :rotfl:)

We'll catch you if you leap My OH gets really bored of me talking finances to him, just wait until he's trying to pay off his 10k though, then he'll ruddywell listen. You could mentally knock of x amount each month until you have the same amount saved, then you have your cushion and no temptation.

I will chat to you all when I'm down in not-so-sunny bournemouth. Going to try to explain to my sister how she can save money.... if she'll listen that is. Oh and buy the olive oil
