    Well, as you can see this went well until May :D but not much in the last 6 weeks with birthdays and a cheapy caravan holiday paid for. DH gets a quarterly bonus and I have 2 jobs at the moment so we are really flinging everything at our debt now.

    I suppose our income is good which is why our debt was able to go so high with good credit ratings. As a proportion though £2k is only about 3% of the debt :eek:

    Thanks :) Snowball said Oct 2014 as our debt free date but I'm aiming for xmas 2013 :beer:

    Parsniphead skulks in after a long MSE hiatus.

    Hello all.

    I joined this challenge at the beginning of the year but have been offline for a long time until recently. I hope I can return to try and achieve some of my target.

    No 103 - £2360/19000 12.42%

    Obviously unless I have a major miracle happen I have no chance of reaching my target, but I'm going to give a really good try.

    Can I come back please.:embarasse

    Hello again Parsnip Head :)

    Well done Jakes-Mum I bet that £150 will niggle until it's paid off!

    His missus we are lucky with income at the moment (although the two jobs are knackering...off today though :D) although sadly that's why the debt is so big in the first place- I guess we thought we could pay it off quickly and never did...you should see the mortgage too that makes my eyes water :rotfl: I'm heading to the MFW board in 2014 :j
