    It's like we're stood at the foot of a mahoosive mountain :j when we get to the summit!


    DH and i have worked out that we can pay 8k a yr back quite comfortably, i'm hoping with a few extra payments we can go into 2014 with 5k left to pay. It will be very interesting for me to look back on this post and see how far off i am in 14 months time :)

    Well not much going on at the moment, however a few desisions made which will save us a few ££....



    We're going to cancel Sky and go for a Freesat box (big outlay but no ongoing costs) and today will cancel my gym membership. Doing these 2 things will save us £75 pm :eek:
    Also going to cancel AA membership and go for Autoaid, saving us £150 per year!!!

    The extra money will go towards paying off our debt which next month will be at the 15 something mark :T quite excited about that.....roll on the 10 something .....:beer:
